What's Wrong?
Copyright theft is dishonest, and against eBay rules, although they do not police it unless pushed.
samrayner1971 used our old 1959 sovereign reverse photograph, which we have since upgraded and replaced. Since we have over 10,000 pages ohn our websites, sometimes a few pages retain older photos for a time before we get round to replacing them.

Price
The seller was asking a starting price of �0.99.
Whatever price it sells for, he may have been better off selling it direct to us, and saved eBay selling fees, and PayPal fees.

eBay Guilty of Negligence or Complicity
We will report this example of copyright abuse using our standard Statutory Declaration via the eBay VeRO programme.
We look forward to taking legal action against eBay for their negligence and / or complicity if they fail to take down the offending material promptly.

Selling Gold Sovereigns & Other Coins on eBay
We point out that sellers may often get more money, for less effort, by selling to a specialised dealer, such as us, rather than via eBay.
