Oh wait a minute, it IS my set!

Someone is using my pictures without so much as a mention of where it came from.

I have already reported it to eBay, twice. Let's see if they do anything.

Eric,

Why not bid on it with the BIN option. Then send him a note that the set he advertised has already been bought, paid for and received by you. At least that'll end his auction without his benefit and will send him a message.

too bad they are not linking to your pages.
great fun could be had with picture substitution.
i have taught several ebay sellers not to link with my pictures and use my bandwidth.
lets see what ebay says.

That's a dirty trick. I like Rob's idea about bidding on it. I think we need to gang up and F@%# with this guy in the worst way. Anyone got suggestions???

I wonder how crappy lookin his TV actually is. Must not be too good if he is trying to use Eric's pics.

OK, after waiting around for eBay I finally just wrote them myself and asked them to either state where the pictures were from or change them.

They changed them.

I don't know why they didn't just do that to begin with, their pictures are better than mine anyway, maybe I should swipe them for my site? :D

Nah, don't use his photos. Just re-take some recent photos of your set and include a Mr. Potato Head in it. :D
