I would contact Ebay and explain the situation to them.

Hopefully someone doesn't get ripped off!

Nicely spotted, as long as you've reported it they should take a look at it for you.

to be fair it might not be someone on here...

if you type stuff in goggle images it normally flags up stuff from threads on passionford. it could just be some twat that took an image off google..

Someone used a pic I took to sell something on eBay to sell their item without my permission. Reported it & it was removed quite quickly.

but whats to say they the seller does actually have a cam cover identical to that ?

he may have a similar one and simply used your pic as a reference.

Agreed - he should take a pic of his actual item and not a similar one - but i have used others pics in the past for parts that i have simply becuase they were either on the car and difficult to photo or i could not get them at the time.

Contact Ebay - I had someone use a picture of my L200 to advertise a sub box made for the L200

Got in touch with the seller and told him that he had 24 hours to remove the picture due to copyright issues and then when he didn't filed a dispute type thing on Ebay.

Outcome was the sellers auction was removed and warned him about future breaches so should he do it again his account will be terminated.


Wouldn't of been so bad if the cheeky cunt had asked to use my picture
