Title: Ebay Question
Post by: Proz on 13 October 2010, 20:44:38

I have just been browsing Ebay for Irmscher stuff and stumbled across a picture of my car .
Someone selling an item listed as " Irmscher Omega Grill " and a picture of my car .
Now it is the same as a picture i posted on here when i put the new grill on .
Should this be allowed because mine isnt an "Original"
Should i contact Ebay and advise them of this ? ... i dont know if im happy with someone using a picture of my car to sell there stuff  >:(
If it so happens its someone on here and used a pic then fair enough but if its anyone else then i dont think i like the thought of this  :-/

I had a german guy trying to sell dodgy bodykits and spoilers with a pic of my car on his ebay page, I promptly asked him to remove it as it had my no. plate on it, he did so with appologies.

I have mailed the seller to point out he is using a picture of my car and grill .... luckly where ever they have gotten the picture i had obscured the number plate .
It must have been on here or photobucket .
I can only think they have ccopied it from here because no one should know my photo bucket password etc .
The seller doesnt live very far from me either .

I use Photobucket and I guess that anything I choose to upload to them becomes their 'property'?

Yeah i know what you mean but no one should be able to see my photobucket unless they have the password ?
Im assuming someone has "copied " it from my post on here if thats possible .

Do you 'tag' your photo's when you upload to PhotoBucket?  Call them names like 'Omega 1'????

If so, they will be easy to find, regardless of account security.  :y
