eBay members are not allowed to use another eBay user's pictures or descriptions in their listings or About Me pages without the owner's permission.

Breaches of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

• Listing cancellation

• Loss of eBay fees

• Limits placed on account privileges

• Loss of PowerSeller status

• Account suspension

Examples

• A seller doesn't know the best way to describe an item. The seller copies a substantial amount of another member’s description and pastes it into a listing.

• A seller uses someone else's picture and includes it in a listing, since it looks very similar to the item the seller is offering.

• A seller likes the way a competitor's About Me page looks. The seller copies the look and feel and a substantial amount of the text and creates an About Me page.
