Ebay be(aware)

[greenfamilyfarms]

A lot of folks are not aware of this but Ebay has started a stock photo and auction listing templates that are from sellers. If you do not opt out of this change, Ebay will make your photos and auction listing available for use to other sellers. This is why you are seeing a lot of sellers using other sellers pictures. I agree that this is wrong, but don't bash all the good sellers out there. Always check feedback, compare auctions between sellers, and ask questions when in doubt. I have found that most sellers on Ebay are honest folks, but to be sure, it's always good to ask some questions before you bid or buy.

Here's a thread that I started about this when a seller used my picture without permission:

That is good to know...whenever I list, which isn't too often but usually goes in groups, I usually only list high-end items in immaculate condition and put a lot of thought into my listing, so I certainly don't want others using my stuff.

I filed a complaint with ebay. The seller offered my money back, if I would return the eggs at my expense. In the complaint, I asked that the seller be honest about the eggs
being sent. There have not been several hatches if the pullets have only been laying for
3 weeks!

She changed her add, I closed the complaint, and she changed it back!

I looked for and solicited eggs here, but couldn't find what I was looking for,
I am in the process of building my flock, and am not ready for the 'show' birds.

I want a diverse flock, with lots of different colors of birds.

I will be looking for blue/green layers in the next few weeks.
