Possible ebay piracy?

[qstor]

Odd. I have only limited experience with Ebay myself, so I don't know how hard it would be to forge/create multiple accounts (or if such could be tracked via ISP by the people who run Ebay), but based on the comments, and on some of the stores of people leaving comments, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was creating multiple accounts for himself, and giving himself excellent ratings. Kind of looks that way to me, on a preliminary glance through.

From what I've heard Ebay has a pretty good fraud department to bust auctions like this and others who sell fake stuff or rip people off.

I'd hesitate to guess how many of them are actually *legal*.

I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Suuure...

FYI, it looks like eBay just took down the D&D auction. Meanwhile, the same guy is still selling 18 other ebooks, several of which are clearly illegal as well.

Gimme his user name. I've got nothing better to do at the moment than to go through and report the rest of them.

If I get nice and pissed, I might even try tracking down the IP-holders and letting them know.

ebooks_forlife. Looks like he's either sold some, or eBay closed some of the other auctions for him. Still 9 auctions left though, including the Hitchhiker's Guide...
