It was bad enough when people just stole my pics and uploaded them!

Now they are directly linking to my photos and using my bandwidth!

But remember that with such external linking you lose control over what is shown in your auctions...

have a look at the cheeky results:

Thanks to Ed Van Halen for supplying the sheer comedy factor!

The possibilities are endless! Grin

How did you find out the seller was linking to your photos?

I can change the pic in a flash - donations of hilarious pics gratefully received  Grin

That happens to us all the time Roz, we made a gif image blinking "I steal Bandwith from other people" "I am a theif" "Do not bid on my auctions"

funny thing is we looked back a day later and people were still bidding  Roll Eyes

we see auctions and websites with our logo on the bottom of the picture all the time, we just laugh it off, little advertising for us I guess  Grin

But that was pretty funny had my laugh for the day.

It was fun while it lasted!  The seller must have checked the auction, because the picture is no longer in any of his/her current auctions.  However, if you go to the feedback section and click on the auctions numbers, you'll see that the seller didn't bother to remove the links there! Grin

By the way, Crystyles, I've seen your "I steal bandwith from other people" gif.  I wondered why a seller would put that in an auction -- now I know!

Next time it happens we can put together a nice image with the EBay logo saying "Official EBay notice - this seller is untrustworthy and you bid on this item at your own risk. EBay will not offer any compensation for items or monies lost in dealing with this seller"

Could be good for a laugh Smiley
