Another Sebastopol photo theif

I knew something fishy was going on. I've been on ebay frequently looking for mini goose eggs (long shot, I know :) ) but I noticed them using the same pics and using different user names. That's why it's so important to watermark every photo. I just started doing that. Even though I still don't like to post many pictures. Buyers really need to investigate or buy from reputable breeders only.
 
OMG- not Henri!

Ok, I looked up the completed listings (in the advanced search) to look up the past auctions that have ended and the different user names they were using. When I clicked on them, they were no longer available. Neither is the user visible. So I took screenshots of them. I wonder if they were taken down by ebay and she just used different pics (some were reused) and a different user name then. They're both from the same exact location. Does anyone recognize these sebbies? (I'm very unfamiliar with the sebbie breeders here) I remember looking because the buff sebbie looked gorgeous. But thought it was weird when they got a new user name. I remember being disgusted with their prices too

There is another seller in that area- Livinqultin or something like that, but their listings are a bit different.

I don't get why they would change their user name when they had like tons of good feedback? Just odd!
 
I was thinking it was because they may have gotten into trouble? Or caused some type of drama. Since their completed listings were completely removed. And she (or he) made a brand new user name, reusing some of those pictures and have the exact same location. Then the new listings said "There is a difference!". I can't quite remember the first user name used. So can't look it up specifically. I dunno anything for sure. That's all I've noticed and didn't think too much about it at the time. Just thought it was fishy when I saw it. She wanted a lot of $$ just for two eggs. At least I thought. Again, I'm unfamiliar with sebbies and what they go for.
 
This one is NOT mine, ( I wish it was!) but it looks familiar too....
thats one of Vicky's pictures


She has changed user names again. I am betting because ebay closes her down from complaints of fraud

I know first hand she told someone that anyone who told them (the buyer) that they knew what colors they would get from two sebbies were lieing. She went on to say its always a surprise and there is NO WAY to know before they hatch. Sorry genetics says differently, Yes the colors do still pop out surprises, but if you breed buff to grey you get buff and grey, if you breed grey to grey you get grey.
 
So the picture thief is back huh! Yes those are Vicky's sebbies with the wings open! That person must have crappy conditions if not willing to put up their own geese pictures or they are awful sebbies. This person goes and picks very pretty sebbies and uses other peoples geese to sell thier own. What a fraud if you are new to sebastopols and go to ebay to purchase them.. Shame shame shame.
 
Oh my goodness! She has one of my pictures up, too!

This is a picture i posted on my Facebook page of my three original geese, Jeanne, Lee, and Maureen. Maureen has now passed away. i also posted this picture here, so it may have been stolen from this site. How rude!
