Description

I sell on eBay. I found an exact copy of one of my listings for sale on the Christmas Discount Shop website. They stole all my pictures, my description and even my user name. They are selling my item (which they don't have) at a discounted price of $29.48. I have it listed on eBay for $58.95. The site looks legitimate with "Guaranteed Safe Checkout" and "Expert Customer Service". Underneath the listing for my item are 8 "Recommended Products". All 8 are items for sale on eBay. The Christmas Discount Shop is "selling" them at a discounted price but anyone who buys them isn't going to receive them. A person would have to be fairly gullible to fall for the scam, because clicking on any of the items brings up the exact eBay listing with details that contradict the Christmas Shop shipping and return information. But since they are offering items at less than half price, someone will probably bite without doing a full investigation. Under "About US", they say they are using the money to combat homelessness and are donating a million dollars to the cause.
