Morocco Moles - filth Moroccan swine STEALING from AUTHORS via EBAY

Here's a few examples of where eBay sellers signed up. You notice...MOROCCO?

The devious Moroccan bootleg cartel doesn't put MOROCCO in the "ITEM LOCATION" part of their ads.

Here's an ad from slimy OMOU. You'll notice the ITEM LOCATION (under the line for SHIPPING): NORMAN OKLAHOMA.

This is to pretend that the dealer is legit, American, and must be truthful when putting in that crap about "I am eithe copyright owner or posting on behalf of the copyright owner."

Bidders think the author is getting a royalty. The author is NOT.

Click the seller's name and the truth is revealed:

Here's another filthy Moroccan. The item location is NEW YORK:

Here's the typical ad babble from a moronic Moroccan:

This kind of crap should not lead EBAY personnel to pretend to be Sgt. Schultz and shout "I know nnnuthing...I see nnnnuthing wrong..."

For one thing, their own RULES state that digital downloads are VERBOTEN.

Their own RULES state that the item location in an ad must NOT be a lie.

There is no excuse to ignore this. "We are just a venue" means it's up to others to report items. Fine. Once an item is reported, IT SHOULD BE REMOVED. There shouldn't be another excuse of "We get too many reports to process" or "Some of our employees don't quite know what to look for."

As stupid and illiterate as Moroccans are, they know some tricks. One of them is using an AMERICAN-sounding seller name. Like NETFLIXING. They can't hide where they signed up, but they try to hide ITEM LOCATION when they hoist the ad. This is a dumb loophole that EBAY should STOP.

The location the seller used for signing up SHOULD be the item location in the ad. Bidders should NOT be fooled into thinking they are dealing with an American who somehow has a deal to sell an American author's books in cheap PDF format.

Technically, eBay TERMS OF SERVICE state that a seller can NOT lie about the item location. This seller does.

This should be immediate grounds for SUSPENSION, considering the seller is also breaking eBay's rules about selling illegal digital downloads — PDF counterfeit dupes.

EBAY has simply not been taking this problem seriously.

In doing that, they have moved beyond "we're just a venue, we can't monitor everything" to obstruction of justice, tortuous interference with copyright, and deliberate abuse. When eBay phone support says "yes, this IS a violation of our rules, the seller's item will be removed" and it IS NOT, that's ABUSE.

When eBay has a "REPORT ITEM" link but conveniently hires minimum wage English-as-second-language termites in the Far East, who either don't have time for every complaint or ignore these complaints, it becomes ABUSE.

The dirty Moroccans couldn't string two sentences together that would make any sense, but they know how to parrot each other's ads, and get happy bidders to leave them positives...bidders who may not understand that they are aiding and abetting THIEVERY and have received STOLEN PROPERTY.

EBAY is primarily to blame because it would be easy enough to quickly suspend these sellers, and to pay attention to complaints.

The rest of the blame goes to idiots like Dean Koontz and pudgy E.L. James and the rest of the best selling authors who should not only be looking out for themselves, and looking out for the publishers who might give them LESS of an advance next time, but also caring about fellow writers and LIBRARIES.

LIBRARIES are going to go the way of the dodo if people can easily get an entire author's works for $7.99, less than the price of ONE legit Kindle (Amazon) or EPub (Barnes and Noble) edition.

Authors and book companies must join the VERO program (vero@ebay.com) and once a week check on their book titles. Take FIVE minutes a week. It's simple. I know that for a fact. I'm in the VERO program.

EBAY also needs to respect the VERO department at eBay more, and take seriously when they report a seller to RISK MANAGEMENT and TRUST and SAFETY. When an obvious Moroccan thief is caught by even ONE VeRO rep on ONE book title, VeRO should point out that this is grounds for suspension. This would shut down the Moroccan cartel and all the others who do nothing but post PDF file auctions.

EBAY needs to understand that AMAZON and BARNES & NOBLE and all the book publishers and authors have a right to make an honest living, and that the maggots and parasites and termites from Sri Lanka, Morocco, the Russian Federation and other pest holes, need to be SHUT DOWN. FAST.

RUSSIA COLLUSION WITH EBAY - TO RUIN USA PUBLISHERS

Ah, Comrade.

Here's how EBAY COLLUDES WITH RUSSIA FOR PEDOPHILE FUN and MAGAZINE PROFIT.

Just put up a blatant ad that mentions PDF format (illegal) and even use PDF in the seller ID.

American teenage girls can be sex slaves to PUTIN. Why not?

EBAY could very easily filter auctions that mention PDF and magazine titles or book titles.

They haven't done it yet.

An eBay worker mentioned, "We're aware of the problem. It just takes...time."

Time to figure out that an auction for "BARELY LEGAL" mentioning PDF should be shut down?

"Oh, well, some sellers would put P D F with spaces. So the filter would be foiled."

Better to not do anything.

What's worse, EBAY employees who check "REPORT ITEM" and "Listings Violation - Digital Download" seem to be in Guam somewhere, don't speak English, don't know what they're looking for, can't read an ad, and can also claim to be way too overworked to even read half of what's reported to them.

MEANWHILE, the Russians are not only stealing sex magazines...they're sealing ALL magazines.

EBAY doesn't want to get all of the magazine publishers in America mad at them. DO THEY?

Isn't it simply UN-AMERICAN to let jerks in Russia write arrogant ads full of threats and warnings?

Like, don't complain about our items "YOU SAW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. NO REFUNDS!"

It isn't bad enough that TORRENTS are flinging books and magazines around in PDF format?

Most normal people don't know about this, or don't want to risk downloading from a torrent and getting caught. But here's EBAY, the biggest auction site in the world, one of the biggest websites in the world, and they're letting RUSSIANS sell off American magazines. For next to nothing.

This is not good for the American economy, COMRADES.

SRI LANKA is bootlegger land. Sri Lankans are THIEVES ON EBAY

"Yes," an eBay rep told me on the phone today, "we're taking measures on the book counterfeiting. We noticed a spike in this around last Christmas. It's hard to put in the filters to stop it, but it IS something we're aware of."

Are they aware that easily 80% of the book bootlegging on eBAY is from SRI LANKA?

Some of them are devious enough to pretend they are not. Like THIS dirty Sri Lankan prick:

You noticed that for ITEM LOCATION, the dirty prick put: KADAWATHA, UNITED STATES.

No, there is no such city or state in the United States. But a click of the user ID reveals the truth:

It would be easy enough for eBay to SERIOUSLY understand the gravity of this situation and take action.

Take action?

For a start, monitor anyone signing up from SRI LANKA. These Sri Lankan bastards get multiple identities and come back faster than roaches.

Here's another:

The Sri Lankan cartel routinely mentions in ads that bidders should not only check the 100 or so items they are offering, but contact them for MORE. After all, if it's a PDF file they can easily find one on an illegal torrent, download it, and sell it. OFF eBay. ANY author who has published a book that is in Kindle or Nook format is at risk of losing THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

What's going on over there in that God-forsaken dirt hole? When the religious fanatics aren't killing each other over whose imaginary friend is best, they have nothing better to do than torture and financially rape authors?

SRI LANKA is a nation of AUTHOR KILLERS.

EBAY claims to know all about this.

But "wait...wait..." they're being outsmarted by jerks who barely know how to urinate in a toilet?

There IS a very strong legal line between "we're just a venue" and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

There IS a very strong legal line between shrugging about a problem and DOING NOTHING when the problem is reported.

When eBay personnel don't respond to a "Report Item" complaint, and when eBay phone support says "not to worry, I will see that this seller is suspended," and NOTHING HAPPENS, then we have reason for a lawsuit.

A MASSIVE LAWSUIT.

What is going on becomes willful misconduct.

The difference between "we're just a venue" and "we're not complying with DMCA's and we're not removing auctions even when they are obviously violating our Terms of Service...." is WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

EBAY nees to use simple technology to red flag ANY auction that mentions EPUB, KINDLE, PDF, or idiot English-as-second-language catch phrases like "not real book, you get ebook by email."

Ebay must suspend ANY seller who parrots this phrase:

"Attention eBay Staff: I am an Authorized Reseller of this product & also the copyright holder or I have resale rights to this ebook or item. Full Resell Rights are Granted by the copyright owners to sell these E-books with Resell Rights or Master Resell Rights Granted."

This and similar babble come from these monkey-brains in Sri Lanka all the time. SRI LANKANS. BOOK THIEVES. Do they know ANYTHING ELSE?

They are a stupid bunch of people who are stealing from writers and publishers AND from Apple and Amazon, powerful companies who sell LEGITIMATE eBooks.

The abuse MUST STOP.

Here's another typical dirty Sri Lankan prick's auction:

Every day you'll find a dozen of these SRI LANKAN scumbags screwing authors and publishers.

They are taking money away from LEGITIMATE eBay sellers who have real books to sell.

People type in an author and are going to buy a used or new copy, and they see this BARGAIN for their Kindle or Nook: the ENTIRE COLLECTION of an AUTHOR for less than the price of one used hardcover!

There are thrift shops and charity shops who can't even get a book sale for ONE CENT plus $3.99 shipping, because of these SRI LANKAN BASTARDS.

Here's just a partial list of what authors THIS Sri Lankan bastard is fucking:

The epidemic extends to magazines as well.

. Terry Brooks: Shannara series eBook Collection 25+ books Fantasy epub mobi pdf

David Eddings Historical eBook Collection 27 Books

John Ringo ebook 20+ collection (epub & mobi )

John Norman Gor Series eBook Collection 30 books (epub,mobi)

Andrzej Sapkowski: The Witcher series eBook Collection (epub,mobi)

L.E. Modesitt Jr. Fantasy eBook Collection 50+ books (epub,mobi)

Catherine Coulter Thriller eBook Collection (epub,mobi)

Ben Bova eBook Science Fiction Fantasy Collection 100+ books (epub & mobi )

Daniel Silva ebook Collection 15 books(epub & mobi )

Maggie Shayne Fantasy 40+ books Ebook Collection (epub mobi)

and on and on and on.

ENTIRE collections of EVERY book for $5.99 to $9.99.

All of these Sri Lankan pests use GOOGLE CLOUDS to send an e-mail and then take the money.

Authors work very hard and most are not paid very well.

Eroding sales by taking all the best selling books does NOT help ANY author survive, nor does it help the libraries that are trying to entice people to come in and BORROW books for FREE.

The Sri Lankan banana-eaters could care less. They are selfish stupid and have no morality. They are the SCUM of the planet.

It should be a simple matter for eBay to RED FLAG auctions that have EPUB and MOBI in the title.

It should be a PRIORITY in the VERO program that once any author or author's rep files a DMCA on one of these Sri Lankan sewer rats, that seller is SUSPENDED.

It's WAY too easy for the bootleggers to come back.

EBAY needs to do MUCH better on this. AMAZON kindle and BARNES & NOBLE nook sales should be protected.

Libraries should be protected.

And eBay bidders should NOT be tricked into thinking a Sri Lankan dimwit peasant fly-covered louse is the "COPYRIGHT OWNER" or is "AUTHORIZED" to sell PDF files using a GOOGLE CLOUD.
