eBay member has stolen a photo from my website. WWYD?

[~Trish~]

Thanks Mel

I miraculously received an email back from eBay! They said I need to fill out a form and fax it back to them, then they will remove the listing. I'm not sure if I should or not. The seller would know for sure I reported them and I'm afraid of backlash...

Maybe I should just leave it be? I dunno... It just annoys me LOL!!

How would the Seller know that you made a complaint? (Possible blonde moment ahead... ) do they get told of any complaints and who they are from or something? I would of thought it would have all been anonymous..

I'll PM you with a suggestion

Fill it out and return it.
I hate people stealing photos on ebay and I hate the way that ebay makes it hard for the owners of the photo to report them. You have to jump through hopps just so that ebay can get it's fees.

Mel - I assume eBay would notify the user that the owner of the photo has reported their item. Because my web address is on the photo, they'd easily track me down.

Sarah - Thanks for your suggestion, very clever and funny

Chloe - It is ridiculous how hard they make it, which is why I wonder if I should just contact the seller directly seeing as they'll know it's me either way...

Trish that sucks! Can you email the seller and explain why you dont want them using it?
If they are selling the item cant they take there own picture?

Id def fax the form back AND email the seller saying you are not happy and have reportrd them to ebay

Theres a way to prevent people being able to save/download images from your blogs/websites. I know my GF has done if cos she found her childrens photos had been donloaded by strangers and her blog linked to.

Someone who knows about computers and servers and webhosting might have an idea?

Email the seller & tell them its a breach of copyright & if its not taken down within a set amount of time they will be charged - even if its not true (it may be, I don't know) it might scare them into removing it
