Beware the ebay sale item #270397891877

[bluedevils]

This MF took my Nardi wheel pictures from FAQ and put them on his auction on ebay. Beware. If you anybody is bidding on this item, please withdraw. It is a fake auction, scum back (hyan_27149) seems to be from Tailand but who knows. Ebay informed.

Merely because someone used your pictures for their auction doesn't mean that it is bogus. I have had people use my ebay photos (for their auction) several times. Did you contact the seller? Maybe they didn't have a camera to take their own pics--I agree that the situation is not very legitimate and dishonest, but you can't immediately conclude that it is fraudulent.--jp

What are you talking about? He took not just the pics, the entire content of my FAQ sale. In any case, using someone else pictures w/o permission is fraudulent.

Yes--there are freaks out there.

I routinely see cars on Craigslist that are obviously stolen ebay listings....the links for more info usually go out to some other 'service' --

Please read your inital post, it said that someone stole your Nardi wheel pics. Items posted on public web sites are considered in the public domain and are fair game for a host of illegitimate uses. You can somewhat protect yourself by placing a watermark on the photos--as a graphic designer I deal with this problem on a daily basis and understand your frustration.

I am with you Al. It's as fraudulent as it can get. Period.

Thanks for advising the community.
