Ebay finally removed them haha - they used to remove these right when you called it in. Now they have to transfer you to make the report, and another review team works on it for 24-48 hours.

Got another all star seller using my photos.
First response was
āRusty,
We dont use your photos.ā
Second Response was
āRusty,
The pictures are pictures taken by our teamā¦ Hence why we donāt take kindly on these insinuations.ā
I was not sure if it was okay to post my active listings, but you can find them in my store linked below.
These two items links are the sellers listings:

Lol, theseāre clearly the same photosā¦
I really donāt understand why do people act so dumb?
I mean 1st - theyāre using your photos and 2nd - theyāre saying that the didnāt use your photos, what the heck? I donāt get it, totally.
The backgrounds and even the light reflections on the cards are 100000% the same.

Haha. Well another came up with a different seller: www.ebay.com/itm/65-XY-Primal-Clash-ELITE-TRAINER-Sleeves-BLUE-Kyogre-Pokemon-Card-Deck-Protector-/221721397925?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
His response to my asking him to remove the listing was "I see no water mark, how do you know itās yours? Please donāt waste my time on childish things. Have a nice day. "
Strangely enough this photo has my watermark on it. In the past, it has been so easy to talk to people and have them pull my photos. Now I just get a bad attitude and resistance, as if taking a photo is unheard of.

Despite these people answers, which I really donāt understand and I donāt get it why theyāre so mean, why itās so hard for them to take their own photos? You have the huuuge Ebay store with about 5000 listings and youāve got your own photos for every one of them and this guy has two listings and canāt even take pics of two thingsā¦

11,000 positive feedback: Still just cropped the edges off of my photo and used it. lol
Sometimes I wonder what is more work: editing someone elseās photo to remove watermarks, identifiers, etc., or just taking one yourself.

I suppose it boils down to whether or not you are listing with a smart phone.
^ This might be a reason in some cases, but I donāt believe that someone whoās got 50 copies of promo EX Diancie for sale doesnāt have it before stocking. I think thatās just lazines and I could understand that (phewā¦), I just donāt understand why are these people acting so weird when someone politely ask them to remove their photo, lol.
Most peoples response when they are accused of something they are guilty of doing is to become defensive. Whether they knew what they were doing was wrong or not. If they find out someone else thinks they have done something wrong, the walls go up.
TL;DR: People are immature no matter how old they are.

I canāt believe someone went out of their way to take my iPod photo, crop it, and repost the same one.
The amount of time it would take to bother with all of that cannot possibly be more than the time it takes to just snap a phone pic of the card. Hahaha
BW101 Genesect (Sealed) Photos, for anyone that cares to investigate.
I just had to audibly chuckle at this one. Iām not really concerned as I sell extremely casually anyway. I honestly am not a fan of the time it takes. I avoid purchasing extras unless I get a solid deal or something. So it isnāt a big deal, but I thought about this topic immediately. Sometimes people go to illogical lengths just to not get up and take a picture. Which is hilarious.
If he had asked if he could use it, I probably would have even said yes, since it is a sealed item.
Some people donāt have the items with them that theyāre selling. They may have it at home but are in the doctors office waiting room and want to list something. Iāve actually done this with rather generic items lol.
Is it right? No!
Iāll never forget when I asked edmerlr if I could use one of his images. I had bought him out of something and had an extra copy after splitting them between friends.
He responded, basically, āWow, Iām so impressed someone actually asked if they could use my image. Yeah, feel free. Thank you.ā

That is why I am glad I learned about selling on ebay from him. I help him open packs from the new cases and I help hIām grade old cards for his ebay store. by grade I mean double check his labels so that the cards are accurate. Sadly his latest shipment of wotc cards got stolen before they were sent to him.
Is theft a big risk with PSA? Iāve not really done much grading before, but I was thinking about getting some more of my collection graded. It was going to be a decent proportion of my cards, though and Iād lose quite a lot if they were stolen.
No. It is not a big risk.
They werenāt graded cards that got stolen.
Do you mean stolen like while at PSA or what?
