Are copyright laws enforced on auction sites?

Don't Copy Copyrights

One of the easiest ways to get a bad reputation in auction circles is to copy another seller's ads or photos. Besides not being very nice, chances are, you could be breaking the law if the material in the ad has a copyright.

If the copyright holder complains to the auction site (this does happen with some regularity), your ad will be immediately removed. Repeated offenses will eventually get you banned, or even sued. Do not copy text, pictures, or any other so-called creative works, unless you have (written) permission.
