TERRIBLE idea to copy other people's description and photos. Use your own - if the other sellers see this, they can report you and destroy your account. Why risk it?

I have reported people in the past who have completely ripped off my very unique description.

Ebay will shut your listing down if you are reported.

Use someones description from a different country. Better if you can use from someones website instead or if the manufacturer has one.

ofcourse you should really write your own though

I routinely report competitors who steal all or parts of my listings.

Just putting that out there.

I must be lucky, I never type more than 3 sentences. "Here is an xxxx. It is in great shape, with only minor wear as shown in photos. I ship same business day!" Less than 5 seconds of typing per ad... all done on my ebay mobile app with zero effort. much less work than copying and pasting. I also have a nearly 100% sell through rate, despite my half-assed descriptions. (50% sell first month, 50% of those remaining sell the next month, and the remaining the next month).

If it's an electronic or an item that requires a list of specs, you are free to copy them from the manufacturer... not sure why you'd chance some random person on eBay to have the right information

My strategy is different in most ways compared to you, but I have found that simplistic descriptions always do better than 1000000 word rambling descriptions.

No that is not the right method.

Make your own unique listing.

Do you just report using the report button? Do you have to do it many times? I suffer from the same problem, one of the competitor even uses the pictures with my watermark, I have reported using the report button, live chat and ringing up, still no use! I have given up now but any tips would be grateful!

Cheers.

You could always put in your watermark the thieves ID and put, "likes to steal my images".

I just used the report button.

A few days later I receiced an email saying they've looked in to it and took his listings down.
