...and some cheeky bastid has stolen a pic of my rst and used it in his own auction !!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-ESCORT-MK...QQcmdZViewItem

Surley this is false advertising ??? i wouldnt mind if he asked to use the pic but the cnut stole it !

 

 

Ask him to take it off .... If he refuses or leaves it .... Open a new eBay account ... Bid on it right at the end to buy it .. Leave him neg saying what he did

I would .. Cheeky bastid

 

Hehe thats what i was thinking of doing

 

Don't see why you're too bothered TBH?


Surely take it as a compliemnt!


Unless I'm missing something.....


I mean you're reg isn't showing or anything...

 

Yeah , but if people keep getting away with using other peoples pics ... where does it all end?

 

Fair point!


Also his skirts may look nothing like that i.e 'mint'

 

who gives a fook

i wouldnt

 

You might .. If someone was selling their house .. and used a pic of yours?

Maybe advertising the services of a prostitute .. and putting up a pic of your missus?

Point is .. It's really misrepresentation, isn't it?

 

he's sellin a kit, u have a kit, so not really

go to a solicitor and see how far it gets u

i would be honoured he used ur car

 

is it easy to open a fresh account

whats needed just a fresh email address???

 

Well, I have three mate, yes, plus a different payment name/link .. or eBay system susses it.

 

Yes, but I'm sure they wont let you open another account under the same address, or at least shouldn't, as surely prats that get banned for fooking about (doing what you want to do etc) will just open another account each time

 

just ask him a question in your usual name asking where he got a picture of your car from and what does the real kit look like?

 

lol

Report him if you can be bothered

 

I dont care on my part but ive bought things off ebay before and there not what they were in the pics so that really fuked me off so i want the people who are bidding to know that its not that kit !

 

I just sent him an email...


"Hi there i hope you do realize that you are selling the bodykit off my car so when the auction ends could you kindly forward payment to my paypal account.

Kind regards
S Wyatt"

 

lol at the question at the bottom, is it s1 or s2 bodykit

as if the mark 4 in the description and a pic of [someone elses] s2 isnt obvious enough

 

Nice email, wonder how he reacts...

Although I just don't understand why the lazy bastard didn't take a pic of the kit itself and put that up

 

It's a picture of a white, MkIV escort, who cares where it came from

As has been mentioned, it's not like the reg is showing.

Maybe he doesn't have a digital camera?

 

If the kit was shit and someone in your area bought it thinking it was you that sold it because that is you car then that could be an issue, bloody long shot though.

I would have emailed him that info regarding copyright and asked him to replace it with another picture - preferably a standard RS so that nobody recognises it as theirs.

 

 

he knows hes done sumert wrong coz hes put " i know ive offended a few passionford people ???

 

Lololololol

 

i had this, some guy was selling workshop manuals for S13's on ebay and he used a picture of my car (the one below in my sig). he didn't even remove the 'Escy' from it. it was a compliment that he used mine but he was taking the piss. i told him to get rid of it. made me look bad on the SXOC as people thought it was me tucking people up (you can d/l the workshop manuals for free on the net)
