I bought to resell. So I never used it. Although I did take additional pictures since I saw a tiny more bit wear than she listed, but still it was such a great deal and I knew I could get more for it

i contacted the lil' seller picture thief and she responded back with : "Hi, I looked on google and tradesy to get better photos of the bag as my camera was not capturing the real color..." Seriously? She totally took my pics and admits it... geesh.
So is she going to remove your pictures? The person who used my pictures did it AGAIN even after Tradesy removed them. So I had to contact Tradesy again to have them removed. I never contacted her. I assumed that Tradesy told her not to use other's photos, but maybe I assume too much. lol. When I looked in her closet, all of her bags had stolen pictures.
she didn't say that - that response was all i got. but i'll contact tradesy again with her email admission. i used the link you supplied me with earlier too, thank you
i was "gentle" with my initial email to the seller, which is why i probably got a response
Seriously, people whose pictures and/or descriptions are stolen without permission need to file DMCA complaints with the companies (ebay/Tradesy/Bonz/Poshmark - wherever)! Those companies are required by law to respond to the complaints and remove the listings. (I've had to do it and the response has always been pretty prompt. No company wants to be known as one that allows infringement.)
Save a template and use it to report!
Even Tradesy's terms disallow copyright infringement and using another's pictures without permission is just that. One needn't actually apply for and get a copyright.

12. Complaint Procedures and DMCA Takedown Requests
Tradesy respects the legal rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It expects you to do the same. If you believe another user has violated the Agreement or your intellectual property rights, please complete the following procedure.
Verified Rights Owners Program (VRO): To enforce the intellectual property rights of owners, Tradesy engages in a Verified Rights Owners program that allows owners to request Tradesy to remove certain listings that offer items or contain images or other materials that infringe on their intellectual property rights. These rights can include trademark, copyright, and/or other legal rights. For example, a Verified Rights Owner may ask Tradesy to remove an item being sold that uses the rights owner's registered trademark (such as a logo on a designer handbag) if the item is not an authentic product of the rights owner. This VRO program helps protect Tradesy members from buying or selling items that may be replica or otherwise unauthorized under state and/or federal laws. Before a listing is removed, a Verified Rights Owner must provide to Tradesy information that ensures that the person or company reporting the item is authorized to do so. If a Verified Rights Owner believes a listing violates their intellectual property rights, please provide Tradesy with a written notice containing (where applicable) the following information:
- a notarized request letter certifying that you are the owner of the intellectual property;
- a description of the intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, including details on any registration that protects the same;
- a description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the Website;
- hyperlinks to the listings with the suspected item;
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the intellectual property owner or authorized to act on their behalf; and
- an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the intellectual property owner.

Do you really have to get a notarized letter? It's a hassle to get something notarized for me.
I need your advice ladies! I'm selling a LV bag on Tradesy and it shows that it's on sale. I'm trying to adjust the price and every time when I do it, the system changes it to a lower price. When I check how much I will make if my bag sells, my earnings are so low and I'm not willing to sell it for such a small amount. How can I remove my item from sale? How can Tradesy adjust my price without letting me know?
Tradesy has a sale going on for Louis Vuitton and Chanel right now. It's paid by them so you do not lose any funds. Mine are on sale too and it's actually awesome because it gives my items the opportunity to sell faster at no cost to me!!
