I have changed the text in the body - and used my own photos - but the heading/listing title was copied verbatim by ebay - and I can't change that as someone has already bid on the item.

I usually copy and paste and add/delete bits and change the order.

No, you aren't allowed to use their text or photos

As you copied and pasted her text, it wasn't actually copied over by ebay was it? I would delete it and write your own if I were you

Sorry meant to ask - should I reply to her saying I used the "sell similar" link - or not engage with her?

I've received a sarky message today from someone who already sold a similar article to me.

I used the "sell similar article" link to sell my version of her thing and the exact same title/location came up - all automatically filled out on the listings form. I didn't change this.

I copied and pasted her main text - but changed/added what was not relavent to mine. Some of the general - it would be great for xyz I left.

So anyway - she's now messaged me to say I've stolen her text!

I have not replied, but worked on my listing to change the main body text - but I can;t change the header - this was the automatically filled out bit.

She is not currently selling a same/similar article.

Am I in the wrong? Or as Ebay offers the "sell similar" and auto fills the form, is she just being ansty?
