Ebay Emails Back:

I have reviewed the information that you provided regarding image and text theft, but at this point find that I do not have enough evidence to show that the member has violated any eBay rules.

Unfortunately, we will only be able to take action if the owner of the image or text writes to us. In some instances, certain members will allow others to use their images or text. It is also possible that they acquired the image or text from a mutual source. Therefore, we often cannot remove listings based on the representations of third parties whose credentials we cannot verify.

We do understand the potential for further issues in this type of situation. That is why, if you feel strongly about this issue, we recommend you contact the seller(s) to advise them of the information and recommend they contact us directly. Once we hear from them, we will take appropriate action.

So there it is, directly from eBay. They only take action if the owner of the image (or text), contacts them.

As for the scam issue, I guess eBay doesn't care.

So much for a proactive approach to fraud.
