Group effort to purge eBay of re-printers?

Post by truthiness »

Forget flippers for a minute... what's the consensus on eBayers who are re-printing Fairey's images and reselling them as smaller prints or stickers? I've been following the market and this seller has had a 50 mark increase in feedback strictly from reprinting an reselling Shepard's images.

If you'd like to report his items, just click this link: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZobamaforpresident_2008and then click the 'report' this item at the bottom of the page. Counterfit/bootlegs-counterfeit media/photocopies is the sequence to use when reporting.

If anything it's decreasing the value of the art on your wall if these guys aren't stopped.

Obey! :-)

I've sent an email to Jeremy re: this guy. By acting through eBay, Obey will be able to get him shut down pretty quickly if they want to.

Incredible. Literally every single item that seller has ever sold has been an Obey/Obama bootleg.

Thanks for the links truthi! It makes reporting these people a snap. Does anyone know if you can report a seller to ebay, or, can we only report one item at at time?

I emailed one guy and this is what he wrote back:

These were reprints we did at the dallas office because we didn't get our materials in time. I have kept up my end of the bargain. Anyone that sells the posters that aren't 24x36 is selling reprinted material. If you read the items carefully, most people selling the full size posters are selling counterfeit materials. I am being singled out yet I'm the only one making donations to the obama campaign, go figure.
