Hey

Not sure where this belongs, but...i was reading someone's blog how stupid people are selling myspace layouts on ebay, i clicked the link, and then when i was looking at the first entry i realized that all the layouts were from createblog.com and that they were all by different layout makers. panicked, etc...so i was like, omg these have all been ripped off. is this person actually doing this? i can't believe it. and then i looked at the sellers history and they have SOLD those layouts many times and have made money off of them. what a bunch of crap. there's just no safe way to let the "good" people use your layouts for free. i wanna do something, but don't know what. lol. i e-mailed ebay and told them.

here's the link: CLICK!

a smart ebayer would know not to buy that, if they looked at the feedback.

1st- 100% positive is imposisble to get.
2nd- its' all seeded. bogus accounts. etc.
3rd. almost all of it is from sellers.

Well, we could always think of this as a weird compliment. Our layouts are that good that someone is willing to be a complete idiot and try to sell them on eBay.

This makes me wonder..

Should we really require membership to get the layouts?
But then again..I don't see how it would stop the stealing.. hammer.gif

Ughh.
Of course they used DIV's, because one, they're more popular, and two, they don't have createblog's image as the default pic.

It costs 12 bucks to put that on eBay, she/he is making a profit of $-11.01... That in itself will teach them a lesson. Also, you guys dint have proper copyright laws on the layouts themselves, and the images if taken from another site, either photoshopped or not, is another loophole.

I had a problem kinda like this with eBay UK, and it never got resolved.

Thanks very much. I've e-mailed ebay customer support staff and included a list of links to all the layouts that have been submitted and are being sold on the site. I should be getting a response within the next two days.

Createblog's layouts are indeed copyrighted. If you go to myspacelayouts.us you can see that on some of the layouts in the code it says that createblog complained of copyright infringement. :]

and that proves that they're copyrighted just because we so happened to have complained?

I was just pointing out. I actually found createblog because I found that website, lol. It's not proof, but it just shows what has happened prior to this "e-bay scandal"

Actually, eBay 101. She/he has only sold 1 of 47...... 47 available does not mean she/he sold 47, it just means 47 people can purchase it. So she/he only sold one, and still is in the red from that auction.

right, but you made it sound as if they were guarenteed to make a -$11.01 profit, if it can even be called a profit.

They sold 3, at about what... $3 bucks in total... It cost more to put them on there as I estimated as well. But, they sold 2 on the 19th to the same person, most likely a double purchase accident. And one on the 24th, that kind of separation between purchases lead me to believe that they would not sell anymore. I guessed correctly.

^ Aren't the layouts posted by certain users?
So shouldn't it be those people who are jacking at taking credit for those layouts on MyGen?
