Someone using my photos

[Neil_S2000]

I've just seen an auction for a NIB Madcap on Ebay and the seller is using photos I took when I was selling mine. What's worrying is the seller has private feedback and has changed his user ID several times, looks very dodgy to me. Do you think I should inform Ebay, it's a bit annoying that someone has nicked my photos, as he is clearly passing off my former Madcap as his own item?

I would if he seems dodgy. If he is legit. then there won't be a problem.

It's definately a different dude. I sent him a mail and he refused to remove the photos. Don't know whether to bother chasing it up with Ebay TBH.

You should report it to eBay as he may not even have a kit, you would help then avoiding someone being scammed.

I have seen similar jerks with kits that I have sold on ebay...I always eamil the bidder and just give him a heads up...Most of the time I get a thank you from the guy bidding. Some of the guy in the club know I have done this in the past when a deal looks shaddy.You know like dealing with "Paranoidp****" if you have delt with him in the past..Jerry

Ok, done. Ebay actually have a policy against copying pictures so I guess they will delete the auction, and also mailed the current bidder with a link to my auction, which ended lower and had the same picture Also reported him for asking 4% to cover Paypal fees for good measure

I must admit that I have used other peoples pictures when selling on Ebay but the difference is that I've always asked the relevant party if I could beforehand. Also I have made it clear that the photo was not of the actual item and given credit in the sale blurb to the person supplying the pic.

I've got a decent camera now and don't need to use anybodyelse's copy.................Oh!! and I'm not a dodgy ebayer!!
