Paypal will still refund the money to the buyer and then pursue the account holder through debt collectors

No they will only refund the money they can access.
They don't use their own funds for refunds

This is the wording from ebay item 140897393100 put up by Ebay user 111bmw1(1) (His 1 feedback was left by an opal salesman at Lightning Ridge Emu192)

Apparently the image for this mule was stolen as well.  It's currently a conversation on another coin forum.:dodgy::dodgy::dodgy:

Yes that last mule was a picture of mine and I harassed him and so did a few others and he finally ended the listing

Mark and I and the tribe were at an event put on by the local council at the Rec Centre this afternoon. It was a 1980's roller disco, but, as it was funded by council (a history event apparently) it not only included wild hair, legwarmers and Cindy Lauper but what kept us occupied was a slideshow of images and a DJ voiceover of highlights of each year in the 80's through the 3 hour event. Whilst Mark was reminded of his first cassette purchase "Choose '85", the wedding of Scott and Charlene etc etc *yawn* a couple of images scrolled around including the bicentennial note, the 1988 dollar and what do you know our own image of the Chuck and Di 50c. It was very surprising to see how far a googled stolen image can go!

You had better send the council a bill for use of your image. Make it out for the same amount as your council rates.

Sounds like a great event PPH!

A mate and me started up Roller Hockey in our town back in the early 80's, that was a blast at the time!

Mark's arcade machine would not have been out of place at the event.

I bet you just about fell over when you saw your coin though, lol!

I recently read about "reverse image search", so I decided to give it a go. It allows you to find your images that might be being used elsewhere on the internet. As I knew one of the members here had used one of my images for his avatar, and that was fine by me, I thought I would search that image.
This is my image....


and this is what I found...

A stamp forum (I don't mind that).

More worrying, a reputable coin store. you would think they could take their own pics.

If you use the small rim nicks at 12oclock on your image as a reference you will see that only the first eBay seller has stolen your image.
The other images and coins are different :ok:

[Triggersmob]

Both look the same to me Jim. Check out the rim dent at 6 o'clock between the C and the E.
Also little marks on the rim near the first "I" in SPIRIT. Also a knock on the smaller inner rim
between the A and N of ANZAC.

OK no worries

Just cropped tighter. Same image.

So, did you contact the vendors and complain, Steve?
