Screw that. Do something about it. Contact Ebay and the seller.

I think you should. He's also misleading potential buyers into thinking that his cheap aftermarket foglights will mount up perfectly and look OEM.

Contact eBay. I hate when other people steal my pics to sell things.

I would make them stop using it if you don't like it but depending on where they got the photo from, I wonder if it's legal.

he probably got it from this site, but he put his banner at the bottom of the photo where my watermark is.

here's the original picture. complaint has been filed and a message has been sent to have it removed.

Does anyone know how to get them to stop using it when the seller continues use though? Eran's (Civic owner) car has to be one of the most used car to sell lips on eBay.

At least it's a REALLY old photo, but it still sucks.

(Car doesn't look at all like this anymore.)

The first page for "Civic lip 1996" has his car shown 6 times alone.

The lesson of the day is to watermark your images through the car, not beneath it.

As you can see with Eran's photo, they don't even bother to remove the watermark or even cover it up. They put their own watermark on, sure, but the watermark being there doesn't change that they're still using the images.

Eran has done that several times.

Only one person ever listened, and that was a private seller trying to sell a Mugen grille. Other than that, none of them listen.

This has been going on with his photos for over a year at least.
