EBAY FRAUD ON AMERACAUNA EGGS

[tellynpeep]

WAIT!!! It gets worse!!
I looked up past auctions from this seller, and they stole a photo for their Standard Cochin auction as well! It is from Cackle hatchery's site!! Anyone want to notify them? I bet they have it copyrighted.

So..... I wonder what this persons birds/eggs look like. So bad that they don't want to show a photo....

If they are not her eggs she should clearly state so in the auction.

Feel free to write to her everybody. I just told her that I have informed a very popular poultry forum about her ameracauna eggs. Im sure she would love to talk to all of you.

Can I say once more that BYC people ARE THE BEST!!

hugs to all of you!

She cant change the listing at this point BTW. She has a bid on it.

I have had an entire ad copied. I asked the seller to revise or take down the ad. I also contacted e-bay but the seller was quick to do as I asked. We later talked about it and he did not know he had done anything wrong being new to e-bay. Today he has sent several people my way for eggs and is a valued member here at BYC.

I also have had someone post on my BST thread here that they had eggs like mine only cheaper... Kinda rude but again I just tried to be polite and say 'hey, really you shouldn't do this' they have never posted here again as far as I know... guess I hurt their feelings...

Better to give someone the chance to fix things on thier own when you can and when they won't sock it to 'em... they can lose their abiltiy to sell on e-bay for this...

BTW... at least on my monitor you eggs look unnaturaly blue and the papertowel they are sitting on looks blue too... Did they enhance your photo?

She can however cancel her auction.​

OK. I just did. Cackle's web site prominently posts a copyright notice on their home page. I hope they do something.

I just e-mailed them.

ETA: I also notified the buyer in the cochin auction in case they want to demand a refund or file through PayPal.
