Ebay: Someone used my picture? :(

Once again, as someone else and I have already stated, ALL images are automatically protected by copyright.



This script is completely useless. It is extremely easy to defeat; even I figured out how to do it. It's easier just to watermark your images (put your user name on the photo), even though that doesn't always prevent image theft.

If you don't care if someone STEALS your work product, fine, but if you steal mine, I will report you every time.

Plus it's not exactly honest to use a photo of an item which is not really what you are selling, is it (stock photos provided from eBay excluded)?

I agree it isn't right to take someone else picture...I will admit that I have done it..I just can't imagine having the time to go through auctions looking to see if someone took my pictures or wording...wish I had that kind of time in my life!!

I don't think folks are intentionally searching for this. But if I have an item up and look to see how many others are for saleand how they're doing, I could very easily stumble across a stolen photo.
