[peel] ebay listing removal

[Chris J Brady]

eBay are also listing pirated DVDs of Microsoft and other apps like Windows, Office, etc., etc.

I purchased one for XP for a computer rebuild - it was listed as genuine.

When it arrived it was in a paper sleeve not a jewel box.  

When I tried to install XP I then had to pay £10 for a key outside of eBay's processes.

This was reported to eBay and they removed that ne seller. But they allowed hundreds of other sellers to remain - all  selling the same pirated apps.

       Some of you know that for
 several years now I've had a perpetual listing on ebay
 which esentially warns people away from paying for mp3s of
 the shows we have been ripping and sharing for free
 There are still a couple of sellers
 who list everything we share for sale (and even claim that
 the show are from their own tapes..) and people do buy DVDs
 from them
 Today I
 finally had my listing removed from ebay and a warning that
 I have breached their rules, by making a listing that sells
 nothing.
 Meanwhile
 these other accounts seem to be able to profit from our work
 and ebay don't care (they take a cut of every sale after
 all..)
 I'm at a
 loss as to what more we can do, but any suggestions
 welcome
