I remembe that post!

Alabama girl there was a post on here a while back on how to secure your photobucket account. However, photobucket should make it automatic that ppls pics be private unless ppl WANT to share their pics.

Do a search to find that post--it has instructions.

edited b/c I'm typing in the dark (spelling)

I would report them right now.

Not nice...I have had that happen when selling things before. Makes me mad when I am the one who did the work taking the picture. Even worse when its not their chicken!

This year I have had somebody copy my description that I wrote up myself. So I reported them to ebay, and they removed the auction.

Yup, he's my Roobie Roo.

I'll never forget that fall day when he was out ranging and kept striking a pose for me. So I kept snapping pics. lol

Yes they can unless you make your albums private. You would change that under account options.

I just sent them an email telling them they stole that picture and have reported them to ebay for fraud. I think everyone should do it!

Wow! I wonder if the other pics are really their chickens.

To play devil's advocate, the seller is advertising BO hatching eggs and not saying the rooster is for sale. When we post pictures on the internet, they become public domain. We have no expectation of privacy. I can save anyone's photos that are posted online simply by "right-clicking" and "save as"... you don't have to hack into a photobucket account.
This is the nature of the internet...while it may upset us to see our photos used in such a way, when we post them in a public forum they become the publics.
