hello,, this is my 1st post here,, i think you guys are right about (EMSY) , i asked for a picture of the back of the green judge the moment it was listed and i have just had a reply over 3 hours later, emsy says i can have photos tomorrow but considering lots of the other items have more than 2 photos, why would you only post 2 of the judge? "perhaps emsy dos'nt have them".. in truth, i think that the evidence posted by Aris is all we need. so sad as i wanted some of these

I emailed him regarding the Egg box and poly which was clearly fake.He replied and said it was not fake and has since changed the pictures to ones of an original box.He is holding the box so i would guess it is genuine. Strange old goings on if you ask me.

It´s a shame people can do such things on ebay and getaway with it! I reported some items to ebay, but it seems pointless! No response or anything whatsoever. I also asked why this persons uses stolen pictures, and he/she replied, they are not stolen.. Yeah right.. I feel bad for the potential buyers who will loose their money, or get items not near the ones in the pics! (If they get any at all..) BTW, where is JWTW when this is his pictures being used again..

I'm pretty sure I saw a Purple Judge of hers/his sell too, so, whoever this person is, (and they're probably a "member" here as well) they're still managing to fool people. But not to worry, one of the many benefits of being a community of collectors (as we are here) is being able to communicate about this sort of thing, and as long as I'm still perusing ebay, I'll spot their fakes and inform everyone here! AC out

Here I am (and NO, I'm not Emsy).
Thanks go to Aris for messaging me (via Facebook), about the stupid tosser pretending to sell G&Ws (whilst using MY pictures) on ebay.
Ebay's system for reporting 'stolen' pictures is obtuse (for all you 'Shawshank Redemption' fans out there). They require you to say which EBAY auction the picture is stolen from - there is no option for quoting pictures stolen from elsewhere online.
Anyhoo, I managed to file my 'report' (after 30 minutes of banging my head against a wall), and I'm pleased to say the auctions were taken down.
Here's the reply I got from ebay:
I've blocked out the guys name, coz I don't think it's relevant. The important thing is they acted swiftly (within about 8 hours).
Result.
PS - I would rather not place watermarks over my pictures, because I regard them as works of art, and don't want to spoil them, but if this keeps happening I may have to do that (or remove the pictures altogether)....

Success! (well-spotted Mike). The Super Mario Bros Crystal Screen is removed shop.ebay.com/emsydiamond/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562I didn't realise until just now that the Climber pictures are also mine. Watch this Space -> I have reported, and anticipate that auction will be taken down today. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** The routine for reporting 'stolen' pictures is actually pretty easy, EXCEPT that ebay require you to say which *ebay* auction the picture is taken from - which is obviously a nonsense if the picture is hosted anywhere other than ebay. In the end I just quoted one of my music auctions (nothing to do with the picture that was actually stolen), and ebay seem to accept that! It's easy to knock ebay, but when you think about it they have a huge admin job to take care of. I'm very happy with the outcome, but won't be completely happy until this seller is de-registered from ebay.
