eBay

So I listed my wedding dress on eBay and the listing was going to end on Sunday. eBay ended my listing because I was violating the copyright of Alfred Angelo because I used the pictures from the website to show my dress. There are so many listing on eBay that use these pictures!!! Someone who is actually from Alfred Angelo reported me to eBay. This was my first time listing on eBay and I didn't realize what I was doing was wrong especially since so many other sellers were using those pictures. Ugh! Well I relisted it again but used my own pictures. Hopefully I don't have any problems.

Ugh Amber that sucks! So what happens? They just remove your listing or does it effect your rating or anything like that?

[aimee!]

ugh what a pain! i had no idea you couldn't do that... although thinking about it it makes sense. but what about all those online bridal websites that use the designers pictures? and i'm sure your ebay add said exactly who the dress was designed by.

 

good luck selling it!

why are you selling your dress if your wedding isn't until 2010?

I think is is a 2 dress bride, found another one she liked better.

It did the same thing to me.. It said the Alfred Angelo company reported that I violated copyright infringement, so mine was taken down also.. I thought it was because I said the brand name in my description... I didn't get it either.. so I gave up on ebay for my dress..

Ebay doesn't usually do it by itself. Someone has to report it to them first. I guess Alfred Angelo has nothing better to do these days:)

Yeah it was all Alfred Angelo. I am trying one last time on eBay. I reworded my description and took pictures of the dress myself. I'm surprised they haven't reported anyone on this site for posting pictures from the websites. There are so many other listings on eBay that use the pictures and they are still listed. It is a bunch of bull. haha Maybe if Alfred Angelo would take refunds, returns, exchanges, or whatever they wouldn't have this problem!!
