eBay Copyright Thieves
Many eBay vendors use our coin photographs to sell inferior quality coins on eBay. These eBay members are dishonest and should be avoided.
We believe eBay profits from IP rights infringements (copyright theft), and does so knowingly, only removing infringing items reluctantly, if at all.
In this case, eBay member daves-best-cheap-cruises is not using our images to sell gold kilo bars in competition with us, merely to make his pages look prestigious and professional.

"...would recommend them to anyone 5 stars."
I was lucky enough to come across Some of Cruisevoucher’s vouchers being sold on eBay last year. I booked a back to back on Carnival's glory and was very impressed with the helpfulness of staff. Being a pensioner anything that saves money helps and this worked out around 1/3 of booking online in the UK or about ½ the always cheaper U.S. price. The Cruise as always with Carnival was very good both service, meals and entertainment. I even received a complimentary 5 level upgrade both weeks. I already have my next cruise booked with Cruisevoucher and would recommend them to anyone 5 stars.

PLEASE READ THIS:
I urge you to visit my eBay About page. There you will be able to link to our sites for complete infromation (sic) of the Terms and Conditions of the cruises. Also you will be able to review the cruises that are availble (sic) right now (updated weekly).
Most cruises are listed 6-12 months ahead. Sometimes last minute deals become available for something sooner. But you should view this a a plan ahead option, not an immediate travel option (that's why the vouchers are valid for three years). Remember, if you don't see a cruise you want right now there are new cruises listed every week.
We want you to be 100% confident in your bidding and 110% happy with your cruise.
BE INFORMED!

7-Night Disney Western Caribbean Cruise May 2-9, 2009
It was a very lucky day for me when I stumbled across the Ebay auction for cruise vouchers. I ended up purchasing eight of them, and have already enjoyed taking my family on a magical 7-night Disney cruise to the Caribbean.
I am going on another cruise with friends in late November, which will visit the Caribbean, South American, and the Panama Canal.
The cruise vouchers are an amazing deal (and don't forget that all costs, fees, and taxes are included - which can really add up.) Richard (of CruiseVoucher) is a wonderful person, and great travel expert. He has become a friend to me. All the arrangements for the Disney cruise were perfect, and everything went along without a hitch. I would whole- heartedly recommend the cruise vouchers as very economical way to cruise.

What's Wrong?
We invest a great deal of time, effort, and cost into creating some of the best photographic coin images on the internet. We strongly object when lazy and dishonest people decide to use them without a by your leave or thanks, often doing so in competition with us.
Copyright theft is dishonest. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers.
This particular eBay seller used our images of a Three Gold Kilo Bars, worth over $100,000, he used it to sell gold cruise vouchers on eBay, and make his listings look prestigious and professional. It is not professional to steal copyright photographs, it is lazy, ignorant and dishonest. He did not seek our permission to use our copyright photographs.
It's possible he is ignorant of such fine points, or just plain ignorant.
Our images appear 7 times in each of his typical listings. and we counted 14 listings using our images, which had appeared in a 90 day period.

Price
The seller was asking a starting price of $199
