Really in trouble. Badly ditched on DP ;( What to do???

    Hi all!
    I just started a thread for selling my own ebook for $15.
    Now I gave 3 review copies to 3 respectable members around here. But then I came to know from them, that this ebook has been sold already on DP before and the three members strictly scolded me because they though I was just scamming :(

    I swear under oath that I'm the owner and original author of this ebook. Now my thread and sales have been ruined because of extremely negative review :(

    What could I do now??? Please help me out of this mess. :(

    First of all find out who sold your ebook earlier to other member and then talk to that guy. Ask him why he sold your ebook with out your permission.
    May be this is the way you should proceed with resolving the issue.

    Why would he even talk to me???
    If he's a cheater, he just won't reply to my PMs and emails, I guess.

    If you're the original author, how come he sold it first?

    I sold it somewhere else on the internet before.
    This is the first time I'm selling something on DP and I got ripped off too :(
    Perhaps he bought it, and then sold it here...

    Did you sell your ebook the first time with reselling rights? if you did, there is really nothing you could do about it because there's nothing wrong on his side.
