To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.

    Ebay quick form to report picture theft.

    Exit bunker, enter Matrix. LOL

    thanks derry, filled it out already. With less than 3 hours to go in the auction, I doubt anything can/will be done.
    Not really a big deal, just stuff that p's me off. I think I'm going to start watermarking my pics on eBay now though.

    In the old days many ebay pics were linked to third party hosts such as photobucket. When a picture was stolen for use by another seller all the original seller had to do was replace the picture in photobucket with a different picture that would then show up in the thief's listing. Talk about being able to be creative, it was quite fun.

    This can still be done with pictures that are inserted (via html) into the description by a picture thief. Those still link back to the photo host in most cases.
