I found my eBay ad on iOffer.

Word for word! I can't believe it. Not that I care, but I can't believe it. I was lurking through iOffer tonight, looking at what was HOT and drop ship lists are HOT. So I started to scroll through thinking I'll make up a few of the HOT lists and post them. Then I saw my exact word for word eBay auction description for a list that he purchased from me! I laughed so hard. The only difference is he is selling it for $20 - I think I sold it to him for $9.99 (because the fees on eBay change after $9.99.)

I am still laughing, I must write a darn good eBay auction for someone to copy it and to another entire ecommerce site. And to think he has sold 2 this month (well, to those who left feedback). And he is selling things from the list and having them drop shipped to customers.
And to think I was going to list on eBay tonight then go to bed. I guess I’ll list my list also but change my wording a little bit. “Why purchase the other guys list at $20, when I’ll sell you the same thing for $9.99.”

Well, I like your idea of writing:

You have a very good point, but I tend to ummm mmmm take bits and pieces of other peoples ads also. Never word for word, but I do get a little help from the search feature on eBay. I still think it's funny, I just can't help it. It went from eBay to iOffer, it jumped - I think I'm actually so proud of myself that I can't get angry.
