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.
