Please help - Ebay Rip

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 14, 2009, 12:12 PM

Ebay Rip - Please Help




One of my photos is up for sale on Ebay without my consent. I followed the Ebay protocols and have been getting the run around.

I sent them an email only to get an email back asking me to restate the original email. I did so and got another email back asking me to print out a form, fill out all my personal information and snail mail it to them and they will look into the matter. I sent them another email and refused to do so letting them know that if action isn't taken immediately they will be contacted by legal counsel.




The image can be found here..... Ebay:  [link]: [link]



If you have some extra time please visit the ebay page in question and register a complaint with them as well, it would be much appreciated.

thats amazing how you even found out your images were being stolen like that..its unfortunate that these things happen, especially to you! and I hope this does not deter you from sharing your art online. one idiot can so easily ruin it for everyone else to enjoy good art.

thanks for the feature mike!
hope things are looking up.

To be honest it wasn't really a huge issue.... the print being offered was a 10X10 enlargement of a low-res screen shot stolen from here on DA so it would have looked like crap anyway, it was just the idea of someone else making money from my efforts pissed me off somewhat =)

It happened to another guy I know personally and a mutual friend of ours who is here on DA was checking out the other guys pic and noticed mine there as well. there are many others as well, I recognize one from `foureyes but I have no idea about the rest. I noted him to let him know as well.

My pleasure on the feature by the way, it's a beautiful piece =D

I've been a seller and buyer on eBay for many, many years and just sent a complaint, too. Hopefully they will resolve the issue for you. That just sucks. I'm so sorry, sweetie.
