Seller endlesstreasures39507 has 4 bottle auctions on eBay now with high priced bottles using pics he stole from other sites.
Please report complaints to eBay (like I did) to stop this practice that hurts the credibility of our hobby - click on the "Report Item" link in eBay list.

What should I submit a complaint about? We can't allow this bastard get away with this. I saw these in my eBay searches yesterday. I thought something was a little out of place at first, because each picture has a different background. Sure enough, I looked in the bottle pricing book I have by Michael Polak, and saw that the pictures of the Birmingham Coke hutch are the same. It amazes me that people think they can get away with this...

Just click the 'report' button and it's like multiple choice..one doesn't even need to compose a single phrase in their fried up mind.. I did all four when I first read this post, it was quick, easy, and now I can go to sleep feeling like I made a contribution to civilized society. [:)]

To file a complaint, open the eBay listing for each bottle (I have the links above in original post), then click the "Report item" link on right side of page near the item number.
Then select "Listing Practices" for "Report Category".
Select "Fradulent listing activities" for "Reason for Report".
Select "You suspect the listing is fradulent" for "Detailed Reason".

Thanks for your support - this is war - we have to demonstrate a zero tolerance for these types of fradulent activities.

I reported all four items... Can't let him get away with this. Should we use the "Ask Seller A Question" feature to point out the pictures are stolen and his bottles don't exist?
