While looking at midyear corvettes on Ebay, I have noticed this seller using pics from my website of my current and past cars.....

In this current auction the engine pic is my car http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6168&item=4557322507&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

In this current auction the interior shot and all exterior shots are mine
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6168&item=4557371685&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Makes me wonder if he has any cars at all! anybody recognize any pics of there cars in any of his auctions??

Report him to ebay immediately.

I was told along timeago but I never did it myself that I should badge alll of my photos with my website name,Right click on the properties of the photos and see if he is direct-linking to your site if he is then swap the photos with a picture of you giving the bird or mooning him.
 
He's not linking from my site, I know that trick and have messed up other auctions from persons trying the linking picture trick. He has just saved the pics and is now using ebay's picture hosting. I do need to mark my pics, but soo many pics over the years...and currently I lack the ambition needed to do it. I reported him to eBay, probably a waste of time, I also sent him an email asking if he had any real pics of the cars he is selling... no respoinse as of yet.

I seriously wonder how some people sleep at night! That's just plain wrong... I certainly hope ebay does something about this for you (and others).

Well I know the work invoulved in labeling all of the photos and thats why I did not do it eather.Last year I was having problems with my photo hosting site and it was going over the limit.I called them and they explained I am direct linking large photos .I said I know better and only use the medium sized one.Needless to say they found the site where he was using my photos to sell a car and I contacted him and had him remove the link to my photos.In my case the fellow was selling a basket case cars and metioned in the advertizement the photos posted were not of his car.

Good luck and sorry for the troubles
 
I live in the Interior of B.C. Looks like oWEN lives pretty close as well. Let us know if there's anything we can do.......

Dennis,

Looks pretty similar to a bait and switch, of course the buyer thinks he is bidding on your car, not the POS the guy is selling, the exterior shots on the red '66 are obviously yours from the placement.
