Lazy Photo Thieves? eBay Is Like A Marriage?

by Sonjay on August 12, 2009

I was browsing through the listings of Wusthof knives on eBay, and I ran across this little gem. (Yes, the seller was shouting in all caps, just like you see it.)

TODAY UP FOR AUCTION IS A BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE USED 15 PIECE WUSTHOF BLACKWOOD IKON SET. ALL MY PHOTOS ARE 100% FROM MY SET AND TAKEN STRAIGHT OUT OF MY CAMERA AND FROM MY HOME NOT COPIED LIKE SOME OTHER SELLERS ON EBAY THAT ARE STEALING MY PHOTOS CAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD A HIGH QUALITY CAMERA TO TAKE THERE OWN PHOTOS OR ARE JUST TO LAZY TO TAKE THE TIME AND EFFORT LIKE I DO AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS ALL ABOUT PROVIDING TOP NOTCH PHOTOS AND SERVICES TO YOUR BUYERS CAUSE WITH OUT YOU THE CUSTOMER US AS SELLERS ON EBAY ARE NOTHING ITS LIKE A MARRIAGE : ) NOW THAT I CLEARED UP THAT SITUATION THIS SET INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING KNIVES

It looked like a nice set of knives, and I was thinking about buying them. But the seller, mr.fareira1980, totally lost me with his rant about all the lazy sellers who steal his photos. This was a listing with a starting bid of $550! Not surprisingly, there weren’t any bids placed.

A note to mr.fareira1980, if you happen to read this, polish up your listings a little bit, please. I don’t care how unjust you think it is that other sellers steal your photos; what I’m interested in is buying some nice Wusthof knives. I’m most definitely not interested in sitting through a rant about how upset you are about what some other sellers are doing.
