Selling prints of OA on eBay

Big THUMBS DOWN on THIS EBAY AUCTION .

 

Not only is it clogging up the OA category, looks illegal to my un-esquired eyes.

 

And if the seller is a board member, Big THUMBS DOWN on THIS EBAY AUCTION

It almost sounds like it's the real page plus a print, but I can't figure why anyone would want just the print!

I saw that to and was hoping someone would point it out. Most of the stuff looks like items from past Comic Link auctions. Either way it feels like there trying to take advantage of people.

I interpret "Great looking Print/Reprint of the comic Layout & page produced." to mean both pieces you will receive will be "prints or reprints"

 

Their inventive wording and method off ripping of someone that only half reads the auction is the only thing ORIGINAL about the auction

[Niblos!]

Sorry, I now see what you mean, the first one is just a print. What is the point in owning a print, anyway?

 

Someone needs to report this to ebay!

Text is pretty clear that it is a print. Does the seller have the rights to sell

prints of this page?

Not a chance.

Mmmm bad form.

[malvin]

you're telling me, I did my usual low bid when I saw one of them and forgot all about it thinking I woudl be out bid and just found out I "won".

 

oh well, that teaches me to be trigger happy.

You can always contact Ebay to cancel the auction and your bids being that you have discovered that the piece is illegal, and see what happens.

[malvin]

yea, I might try that.

 

I actually already paid it, since it was $10 shipped and I didn't want to fight over that.

Maybe you can do a youtube video of you burning it and get bleeding cool to do an article on you.

I reported this guy twice to eBay. Nothing happened. He's on his third round of selling prints. What's even more irritating is that he probably doesn't even have the original art. He just lifted image scans off of recent auctions.

 

 

[Menace]

If he had the original he still could not legally make prints, right?

No, he couldn't.

[rex graine-migration]

No different than selling a bootleg DVD if you ask me.

[ShaneTurgeon]

He definitely doesn't own the originals anyway. I know the guy who bought the GI Joe #24 cover from ComicLink and it's not this guy. Hopefully he can get shut down.

 

 

[LordZarak]

With Shane's confirmation, I reported him for a third straight week. I hope others do so as well. Maybe a volume of reports will get more attention on eBay's end.

Nothing is going to happen unless the copyright owner contacts eBay through VERO. Either the artist or the publisher needs to do it otherwise eBay turns a deaf ear to people's complaints. I know plenty of artists that have been through this on eBay. A million fans could complain but until the artist states the pieces are not legitimate (and proves it!) eBay doesn't do a damned thing. Unless you show nipple, then one complaint and the piece is removed.

Good to know. There's a ton of trashy porn posing as art on ebay's original comic art category.
