Copying with acknowledgement would be flattering. Sadly, I don't think ebay has any rules about copying text from other websites (just about not copying from other auctions).<br />How about contacting the seller to ask for a commission for writing the description? Or call it royalties, maybe ...Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315368106736177085.post-79666394588311968682010-07-23T00:08:25.741-04:002010-07-23T00:08:25.741-04:00I think flattered, creeped out and incensed are al...I think flattered, creeped out and incensed are all appropriate responses. Apart from the plagiarism issues it's a reminder too that our blogs are totally public and we NEVER know who's reading them (or stealing from them come to that).Norma Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601307344195166189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315368106736177085.post-50896924541700900572010-07-22T20:38:55.689-04:002010-07-22T20:38:55.689-04:00It does seem quite lazy on the part of the eBay se...It does seem quite lazy on the part of the eBay seller. Happened to me once, with a Pat Nixon paper doll set I posted on my blog. The entire description was lifted, and my personal commentary! <br /><br />That's awful, Christine, that someone would copy and sell your scanned postcards. Some shameless people out there.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954692169914973706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315368106736177085.post-86122205592520997192010-07-22T18:36:22.414-04:002010-07-22T18:36:22.414-04:00How lame!

Initially, I never worried about people copying my posts or postcards, but then I found that people actually take the scans and sell them (!) or take the scans and modify them and sell them. Then there are others who lift entire posts with pictures and text and present them as their own. But why? I don't get it.<br /><br />That's when I started watermarking some of the cards. <br /><br />This eBay plagiarism is rude, and you should be mad. At the same time, you should also accept that you are the expert and people will want to copy you.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.com
