Thank you, I've got to do it since the site hasn't done anything in two weeks. maybe they are happy to host replica sellers.
Even if the seller is selling authentic items, using your text and images is infringement and they MUST respond to takedown requests.
Sometimes it takes more than one request to get them to take action but it DOES work. I've been successful in getting listings removed from ebay, Tradesy, Poshmark, Vinted, Google blogs and even iOffer!
how do you do it? Every time I find that someone is using my pictures on eBay, I ask politely to take them off, but usually they don't remove them and get tough with me, like "why should I do it if my item looks exactly the same, you can't tell me what to do" etc, no explanations or reporting listings help. every time the same
they even accused me of using stock photos myself in reply a couple of times!! (I picture my items on white glossy background)
I used to contact people but after getting harassed by the thieves, accused of stealing their pictures and even having my ebay account threatened to be suspended because that's not what the messaging system is to be used for, I went the legal route.
An infringement removal is a huge ding to a user's account, whether on ebay or on another website.
In the last 6 years, I've never contacted them directly .
Exactly! and on that site you need to submit your email to leave a comment/message. there's no way I'm going to get involved with them directly.

I do what BB does, send out an auto fill VERO pdf to ebay and usually gets removed within a couple of days. No direct contact with lister required. The platforms ignore infringement claims at their own risk, they do take it v seriously when notified though. Usually my cover pic is the only one on white background which is impossible to distinguish from stock pics, and anyone can copy and paste those but I put the rest against a real life setting, albeit not like a dirty bathroom/kitchen with litter box in full view mind you.
it says selected items and leads to selected collection when you click on banner on site. Have you tried it?
Yes I’ve tried it, works fine. Keywords being “site wide”. There’s no restriction for me other than the minimum amounts eligible for tiered coupons.
I just made my first purchase from Tradesy today! The seller is Abbey R, so it’s Tradesy right? Can someone tell me a little bit more? Are the items from Abbey R the bags that were returned without cause so Tradesy couldn’t force a return on the seller? My bag is new with tags so I’m hoping it’s as listed. Does Tradesy get their items anywhere else?Thanks!
