buglebarn in eBay Copyright Theft
buglebarn [Larry Strawson] of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, stole our 1999 Tenth Ounce Canadian Gold Maple Reverse Photograph to use on eBay, without permission to try sell his own coin. Totally dishonest.
He failed to state or warn potential buyers that the superb condition gold proof coin in our high quality photograph was not the coin you would receive. This is deception.
Image theft is endemic on eBay, and most sellers appear not to care whether their buyers are deceived.

What's Wrong?
It is always possible, even likely, that sellers who steal photographs do not own a similar coin, and have the intention to totally defraud potential buyers.
The vendor [Larry Strawson] is not only cheating us by stealing our copyright images, he is fraudulently or ignorantly misleading and deceiving all potential buyers. Gaining pecuniary advantage by deception is the definition of fraud.
