Copying my listing....

[westernstargifts]

I haven't had time yet to figure out how to watermark my images....(thanks for the link, Recped)....My daughter knows how and is going to help me with that after Christmas sometime.....I hope.

Meanwhile someone is copying my pictures, my special features added above the description and a small portion of my description itself. I just finished reporting them but have no idea what response I will get from eBay support.

Is there anything else I can do in the short term to protect myself from this unwanted intruder?

Judy,

As you have so correctly stated, you have answered all your questions LOL!

In your post I felt that your issues were (also) of another nature and that the "copy" issue was a good way to "get your foot in the door" as we say...

If her keyword strategy has flaws, her descriptions are sloppy, she lists infrequently and at wrong times, then you should have nothing to worry about.

Have a nice glass of something good (spa with a nice glass of Shiraz for me in about 10 minutes LOL), relax and let the mechanisms of selling sort out what will will likely happen - you are the better seller and will prevail.

Sounds good...I had just had Chinese food and a cold beer...not quite Shiraz but it went down really well!!

I remember reading on this board quite awhile ago about 2 sellers selling the same product with quite different pricing. The higher priced items outsold the lower ones even though it was the same product. I find that many people do not know value and their perceived value determines what they will pay for something. If you price things too low they think you are selling junk. Put a higher price on it and they value it more.

The price of copper has increased so much that people are stealing it from contracter's trucks, from hydro lines and from scrap yards. Our local scrap yard has been robbed about 3 times in recent months and copper is what they target.

The price of copper jewelry is going to have to increase so hopefully then people will see the value they are getting in my products which I can still get for a very good price. That may not always be the case so I am stocking up while I can.

Enjoy the spa & Shiraz Xena! And thanks again. I have blown off some steam and feel much better about myself and the world in general...lol.
