Some dickface is using pics of my car to try and sell his **** on Ebay.

Just a heads up for anyone browsing.

BTW:

Does anyone know the seller? I'd like my pics removed IMMEDIATELY!!!

BTW:

I do not even have an Ebay account - can someone PLEASE contact that seller and tell him to remove my pics immediately please?

Or could someone lend me their user name as password via IM and let me tell the ****** to stop using my pics?

I'd hate for someone to buy some bunk **** thinking it's mine.

he obviously doesn't have any tranny. no feedback, $100 bucks for shipping worldwide, money order or personal check only. i'll report it to ebay for ya and see what happens.

Also is any of you Ebayers can contact the bidders and give them links to this or the topic I started in the GDD forum, that's be awesome.

the high bidder of $650.00 retracted his bid after an H-Ter notified him with links to my H-T topics.

CHONCH

i just emailed him, im good at ******* with ebay scammers.

we'll find out if he's really scamming, or if he has an actual tranny for sale and just wanted to use pics of a clean car.

...Just emailed the current high bidder a warning with a link to this thread.

I was scammed by an eBay-er once (blown D16z6 swap/replacement for $600) , so this **** really pisses me off.

I'll keep an eye on it and continue emailing the high bidder until no one is left or eBay removes the auction.

**** scammers

Nice.

I suppose that would have been the smart thing to do ( on me)...

LOL. I just hope they don't think I'm sending them a link to a virus and don't bother opening it. If only I was further along in my Force training....

silverEH2

thats a straight up scam...

Leb_CRX

Maybe he's planning on stealing his car and figured he'd get the parts sold prior?

ok lame joke considering that a lot of people are getting their cars stolen, either way I contacted him as well

Ricey McRicerton

Damnit, this is nuts.

articbluedc5

I just hit everyone up that was high up on the bidders list today, he should be banned from ebay for stealing your pics

While I do agree that the seller is wrong in every way possible, unless the pics are copyrighted, he/she didn't steal them. They are on the 'net for everyone to see and/or use at will. It's a downfall of the internet age....free information.

Built Beast

also sent the tool a nice little email....**** all Scammers

Read the Ebay terms of use.

It is a violation to even copy someone else's written description of anything being sold. They also go into detail about how anyone copying pictures that do not belong to them will be in violation of their rules as well.

I do not have to copyright pictures that I myself take. Just because I post them up on the internet doesn't give anyone else the rights to them to do as they see fit with them.

I guess I'll just start taking pics posted from members and starting auctions of their cars then, eh?

Which is why I said it's wrong in every way. I was just pointing out that he/she wouldn't go to jail or be fined unless the pics are copyrighted. Hell, I love Tom's car too. I have a couple of his pics that I use for backgrounds on the 'ole pc from time to time.

Ok, but how can you prove that you took the pic? If it has no identifying marks on it, like Property of Tom, y0, and you post it on the net, there are dirtballs out there that may use it for their own ill-gotten gains. It would be one person's word against the others. I'm not trying to get everyone all ruffled up, I was just saying...

HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE NUMBER BELOW THE BLOCK CODE MATCHES THE VERY ENGINE IN MY ******* CAR?

I swear to god what is it with people trying to be argumentative?

I'm trying to keep people from being scammed, and you question my intentions? If it was only about busting some jealous pic thief's ***** it would not matter so much...
