Default Rennlister using my 944 pictures on ebay...

Not sure what to do. Rennlist member damiza318 who sells on ebay under Precision_motorsport has been using my pictures without permission on ebay. I already emailed him about it once and then ebay pulled the auction. Here is another ad he just put up with one of my pics...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/88-89-Porsch...item231696b535

Funny thing is I already sent him a nice PM about it and never heard back. He actually has a set of seats I would like to buy but with behavior like this I am having second thoughts...

Here is the pic in question - he even added his own little watermark to it

The picture of the long block he has listed is from the Lindsey Racing site. I'd email ebay.

It's because you take awesome pictures.

At least he states that it's stock photo, albeit its a small note.

WTF? I would say that's just lazy, but he went to the trouble of watermarking your pictures!

Maybe in future auctions you should include your cat in every picture, I would say your nuts.. but..

Maybe you're due some royalties for being involved in the sale...

I'd put a watermark that say property of Josh B or something to that effect.

I would recognize that floor anywhere!

He doesn't have the best track record around here anyway.
