I had this swap up that’s just been closed today, heres mine: http://www.swapitshop.com/cgi-bin...ap_id=1302327&detailed_view=1

Then I realised boboulas has the same swap up and has copied my words, heres his: http://www.swapitshop.com/cgi-bin...1&find=face&category_id=#


He has copied my words and in places just added parts e.g. ‘search boboulas’!! Where mine said ‘Search lotte1000’

It took me long to type all that and then he comes along and just copies and pastes my words!

And I didn’t copy it from anyone else either, I did the words to my swap myself and thought the words up myself, I wish he would do the same! It just annoys me! Also he is trying to undercut my price as well.

Rant over!

Lotte

I totally agree with you Lotte.
It has started to be quite big on Swapitshop now, people copying others auctions. The same happens on Ebay, but at least on Ebay you can report them.

Is it worth reporting it to Swapitshop? Personally, I would, as you put a lot of time and effort into your auction, only for someone to come along and "steal" it.

Best wishes

Stuart

I agree! It must be annoying writing up all that and finding out that someone has copied you!

Its never happened to me, probably because my descriptions are c*** but I know where you are coming from with your complaint.

Hey, In Future If Someone Does This And Their Swap Is Still Active, Email Swapitshop And They Should Email The Swapper/ Or Sort The problem Out.

Once A Swapper Called Oatmealuk Put 'Cheaper Than StatiK_Swaps' In His Swaps And I Emailed Swapitshop And The Swap Was Gone

I think that they should disable the copy & paste function in swaps. It would mean that all your swaps were written by yourself and couldn't be copied off websites or other swappers.
