So yesterday I see that another seller has listed the same exact bag I recently listed. As a matter of course, I now check listings for similar items to see if any copying has been done (I've had it with copycat sellers). Sure enough, the seller has copied different portions of my listing and even left the font and font color the same from the copied portions! I handwrite *all* of my listings....why the *&%! can't others??? Needless to say I reported it last night. Today the listing was removed by ebay. Fabulous. Thanks, ebay.
Tonight I see the seller has relisted the item and kept out the copied sections but included the following:
"This ad will stay up as long as no other jealous Ebay seller claims I copied her ad since they had the same measurements. If anyone needs to copy my ad to save them time, go right ahead."
What?????????!!!!????? Jealous seller???? My God - who CARES that she has the same bag - more power to her! Mine is new, hers is used. Like I care??? Totally off point - the point is it's against ebay's policies that's why they removed it. This ....creature ....is implying I reported her for spite or out of some coincidence based on our items having the same "measurements". Uh uh sister. I write each and every word, including measurements, myself. Write your effin' own! I was soooo tempted to contact her ...but didn't. I'll contact ebay again.
In my mind her statement is malicious and done with the clear intent of striking back at me and negatively impacting my listing. Anyone with half a brain can easily discern what listing she is referring to as we have the only two auction style listings for this bag.
Has anyone ever had this happen.... this public 'slap' by a copycat after you reported them?
