PERSON ON EBAY STEALING BYCer's PHOTOS

[rancher hicks]

Not sure how but if you can you should put a faded name plate over the pic like hinkjc does. Let me know if you know how it's done. Maybe she will tell you.

That happened to me earlier this spring. Tell them you're reporting them to ebay and then report them. The person who did it took my pictures down. It is illegal to use another person's pictures whether they are watermarked or not without written permission and it states that in ebay's rules.

It's a watermark. You can do it in any photo editing software (Photoshop, iPhoto, etc), its basically just layering a semi-transparent image of your logo, name, etc over the original photo.

There are several free watermarking programs you can use or you can also do it thru photobucket.

When I download my pics from my camera to my laptop, I use Picassa. There is an option there to put a watermark on. Most photo sites have it but its probably different in every one of them.

I think 'he' is a predator! He preys on people for their money by lying to them.


And, now that you mention it, is a very nasty variety of pest, too!

So I thought this was an apt catagory to post this under.

Apparently Carol didn't find it necessary to start a thread on BYC. I would prefer to hear from the owner, rather than a third, fourth or fifth party.

What was the reason for the OP? So we would all complain to Ebay? Without proof, it does no good. Are you her best friend or something?

 

[Brindlebtch]

Would proof be Carole saying those are her pictures?

I don't know why this is in predators and pests, but please go through proper channels to resolve.
Thanks
