I've just encountered a situation in which multiple sellers have been copying my listings, word for word. What, if anything, can I do about this?

The link will be valid for 1 month after this post
Select all text on the page and copy it into your word processor.
If you have lengthier text and spike it with your hidden phrases, and copycat is not careful, they will be showing your hidden messages and links. Or at least you make it harder to copy as they will need to manually edit all your hidden content out.

you will get this:
''ntactoPINocovering.ooAnooriginalopristineocardodirectlyofrom
theomanufacturer'sobox.

WHITE text is hidden between each word.
A time consuming technique- but quite effective in the early days.
Now GLOBAL REPLACE programmes have made getting around this somewhat easier.

< -- font color="#FFFFFF">o<-- /font>
(eliminate the -- to make this work. As this box is HTML enabled- If I place it here as it should be, it will not show!)
You can also add whatever message you want in place of the "o"
We also use- "THIS IMAGE STOLEN FROM- AND OUR eBay ID"
Effective when using image where there is text that will be readable.

I'm happy that they they did that for you. I can't figure out why they do it for some and not for others. The last time someone copied me word for word they said there was nothing they could do about it. And it was the whole page, template and all.

They told me there was nothing they could do about her copying the text. Maybe THEY should read that page!?..?:|
