I didn't know I was selling this!

Well I see the picture has been removed so eBay must have contacted him after all.

This isn't the first time this has happened, the last guy was quite pig headed about removing my picture but he did after I contacted eBay.

whats wrong with people, why on earth would anyone think that was a good idea to use someone else's pic to sell their item?

I would suspect the worst from that seller.

I've been plagued by these problems. Ebay certainly make it difficult to even find right page to report the problem.

However, I've stopped short of watermarking the image where it might interfere with the area of image of interest as it simply defaces the image for normal site visitors. Instead, a copyright message on each image, out of the way and yes easilly removed, but its very removal implies a deliberate act and does hold more sway when you eventually get through to Ebay.

One guy (a well known crook dealer in the UK) was such a burk that he copied part of a webpage - including the links to the original images that still sat on the website. Needless to say, I had a bit of fun there and the pictures got changed to something, erm, well, lets just say a little more "exotic" .

TTFN,

This has happened to me a couple of times. I made some big red images that say FRAUD!!! Once a bunch of those appear in the seller's listing, the auction disappears from eBay in no time.
