Agh crap....not again

When are these shit heads going to stop? Where is my money for this?
LINK: I just had this problem a few months ago



Another person has stolen a pic of my car to sell something...this time the lip.
Ive contacted him and demanded 15% of auction ending total price as compensation because he legally stole the picture of my car.


Thanks chad for the heads up

Nah...I know he wont give me anything. Its more to make him scared or upset. Either way, he'll probably remove the pic from the auction.

For some reason I cant contact ebay. It always says that my browser is blocking cookies, even when it is set at "allow all cookies"...kinda pissing me off...

If he is directly linking that picture from a source that you have control over, you could just replace the picture with a text picture saying "I'm a lazy mofo who cant take his own pictures. Don't buy from me."

I believe there was something like that posted awhile back. hilarious.

If the guy is linking directly to your pic, you could replace your pic with one that says that with the exact same url to be linked to.

^^exactly. Unfortunatly, it takes just about the same lack of effort to copy and past that picture to his own hosting service, to ebay, etc.

it looks like he has it hosted with ebay for his auction. unless that is where he got your pic from, you can't do much about it.

gotcha...so simple

yeah, he's saved the image becuase its edited (the gay ass blue circle) and its definately on egay's hosting server


EDIT**I just got an email from ebay cs (was finally able to contact them)
they say I need to have hosted or host that image myself on my own account before they will remove his...
so here's what Im gonna do. I will put that pic up selling.....the grass, behind the car, for $1000. If one of you would "buy it now" I could solve the whole problem now and in the future. Of course you wont get the grass...but you wont be billed either
trust me........
Im seriously going to do it...

i havent done any ebaying (im a half.com junkie), but do humans actually approve each auction, or is it an automatic process? Because it wouldn't take any effort at all to rename the file, host it somewhere else, or modify it enough to still be reused on a later auction.

The only satisfaction I get from this is knowing that when sites get to that point (telling people to f*** off) they will slowly die. Remember hondaboard.com? exact same thing.
