WARNING: Don't read this post unless you want your stomach to turn and your blood to boil.

Here is an e-mail exchange I just concluded from over the last hour with "Romain M (dbzgoodies@hotmail.fr)" His is RED mine in BLUE.

Hey,

I am a French dealer, I sell your creations on french websites.

I sold about 100 of your productions since the beginning of 2012.

Do you have Disney characters? My clients want Disney characters.

Thank you for your response.

Best regards.

Hello

What is your website?

Ebay:

http://shop.ebay.fr/jaynoby/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

And leboncoin.fr

I give the templates away for free, they are not to be resold!

You are just taking my work (and the work of others from the looks of it) and profiting off of it? And then you have the audacity to tell me and request more?

Rare et limité? LIES!

You are ripping me and these other artists off and conning your customers!

Yes, "rare et limité" because I'm the only seller with these products.

Do you have Disney characters?

Thanks you.

Best regards.
Romain

I have notified ebay about your infringements of my work and are letting the other paper toy artists know as well so they can do the same.

You have no copyright on these paper toys.

Well, you don't want to provide me the Disney characters, I'll look elsewhere.

But if you change your mind, you can send me samples printed to my address.

Vivacti Services
31 Rue du President Wilson
41200 ROMORANTIN LANTHENAY
France

Thank you.

Best regards.
Romain

I absolutely do, they are my artwork. You took them from my site, print them and sell them. You are now asking me for more.

It is you who have no rights to them. You think you can just find other peoples work online to sell for yourself?

Ok I'll find other peoples, don't worry.

You are the worst.

I've contacted ebay's Vero program on my own behalf but I cannot on behalf of the other paper toy artists he is ripping off. If you see your stuff on his page you can contact ebay here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/vero-rights-owner.html

Comment by Dan Watson on March 23, 2012 at 1:33am: Rude **?> (words not to be used on this site!)

Im with A.G.

Also agree with Vins, leave negative feedback with links to your website and others!

Comment by VinsArt on March 23, 2012 at 1:28am: I'm not sure if you can release the feedback comment if you are returning the money, but a few dollars are worth,,

He has 138 feedback, at least one year of sales. three negative comments and the page has fucked.

Comment by VinsArt on March 23, 2012 at 1:27am: I think it's possible to sink him.

buy three models from him, after that release negative feedback, in which buyers are cautioned that it is selling free stuff on the net to other artists at their expense.

and then you always make back the money by opening a dispute, because it sells things that are free.
