I just called... again... went up the ladder twice... More in the PM group though.

Wait... forget that... check out the related stories... hundred + things I learned at SDCC... 85 - Rob Liefeld does not take kindly to being asked to draw a foot as a commission from a fan http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/07/23/one-hundred-things-we-learned-at-san-diego/

This is the stuff that eventually leads people into getting into serious trouble...

I wonder if this becomes locked now or poofed.

I will see your stupidity and raise you with "The Smiths" That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore Park the car at the side of the road You should know Time's tide will smother you And I will too When you laugh about people who feel so Very lonely Their only desire is to die Well, I'm afraid It doesn't make me smile I wish I could laugh But that joke isn't funny anymore It's too close to home And it's too near the bone It's too close to home And it's too near the bone More than you'll ever know ... Kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down You kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down You kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down You kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down It was dark as I drove the point home And on cold leather seats Well, it suddenly struck me I just might die with a smile on my face after all I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now it's happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now it's happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now it's happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now it's happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now it's happening in mine Happening in mine Happening in mine Happening in mine Happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now, now, now it's happening in mine (I've seen this happen) Happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now it's happening in mine (Happen) Happening in mine Happening in mine Happening in mine Happening in mine I've seen this happen in other people's lives And now, now, now it's happening in mine Happening in mine, mine, mine Happening in mine

Wow just wow...

I should not be sitting here in my PJ bottoms still trying to figure out the benefits and testing the security parameters of a Facebook group page vs a organizational page on a sunny day and already be at the beach.... But... such is life.

There are many forms of proof that don't require them to see the item, which is why they do yank lots of auctions. The easiest way is to prove that they lifted an image from someone else's auction by just telling them which auction it got lifted from. Sure, but when you have someone selling reprints as originals, why does it take multiple complaints to have the auction killed? The auction is being reported as Significantly Not As Described (SNAD) which will require the buyer to go through the hassle of repacking and returning the item, per ebays buyer protection requirements. Of course: If the buyer is uninformed and doesn't file the SNAD, ebay still gets their cut. If the buyer can't be bothered with returning (probably not the case here, but often in smaller $ transactions) eBay still gets their cut. If the buyer fails to file within 45 days, because they are hospitalized, die or other problems, ebay still gets their cut. If the buyer fails to get signature confirmation when returning, eBay still gets their cut (and the buyer is out the full amount). I just think ebay is too disincentivized to yank auctions. The reply to this was that there is so many reports filed across the system that there is a backlog. This makes sense actually. eBay has at least a couple of million items listed each day. We found ONE thing wrong and the button humping seems to be off the charts. There is a line of complaints that they process. Priority is reasonably given to phone calls.

My rep got it and understood my concerns. Said it will be down before the auction closes. Tell you more through PM if you want.

Throw me into the PM if you want.

I find quite a bit of stuff on eBay... when I go shopping for the smaller items though I make sure it is through a reputable seller. Sparklecity comes to mind. When I have shopped for $1000+ books I go through the auction houses.

Bid tomorrow young padawan as the auction is closing... before he has time to cancel your bid. Think of it as reverse sniping.

He did not respond to me.

You need to call paypal - say you are concerned with fraud since it is your image. Paypal transfers you to eBay and they walk you through it and then that is how they take it down. That is how I handled it last year. Guy pops up with another image of his book a week later but at least was not using mine.

Speaking of which... I have to set up a scavenger hunt... and in doing so have to create about ten emails and FB accounts... This should be interesting. Team 1 Team 2... so on.

I am sure that one of you must have an alternate eBay account.

I am sure that you are the type of guy that knows how to get around things like this.

$80,000

Yo thief!!! What up playboy!

Heh - I can only imagine what that high bid is.

Did you see the other AF15 scam that I posted in the AF15 thread?

Anyone with more than one post in CG.

I was away... I just wrote him on eBay... I used up every character space which was nice.
