Default Are ebay blind

Came across this and thought it looked familiar. 3rd edition of John Gaylors Military Badge Collecting. Straight forward page by page photocopy except the cover which has a new title and no reference to John Gaylor at all. Surely this cannot be right!!! Proper copies can be found for just over £4, this lesser quality one is going for £12.99 though postage is free!

No, they just want the commission that almost 100 sales bring.

A definite breach of copyright. The publisher or Gaylor's estate should take eBay to court.

Pen & Sword are the publishers.

Reported both the auction and BiN items, again. I doubt it will get anywhere.
