Stole My Picture

I have put a book on ebay, taken on my PC desk, and I was looking at the other books that were for sale, and someone has had the cheek to use MY picture that I took as their picture to advertise their book for sale. That's really annoyed me. I want to report them to ebay but I doubt people report such things :mad:

I've sent them a message telling them they are rude and that it is a misrepresentation and a sale by description under Section 13 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 which buyers are relying on and the picture obviously does not represent their item as it is mine! So I have given them till tomorrow to sort it out or I will report them. (Not that I have a clue how to do that!).
But using a false image too! That makes it worse!
It's one of the the things that ebay are really quick to deal with. You can report it the same way you'd report something that would be illegal - at the bottom of the item, before the footer you'll see the 'report this item' option
They will then simply remove the item from sale. It's worth pointing out that the seller, if the item has been bid on, won't be able to change the image - at least if I remember correctly.
Maybe I have, but just for that split second it annoyed me, anyway at least it's removed
You should had responded "You clearly don't have enough time on your hands."
I would but I don't want to start an argument. I'm too scared
Go on, I dare you!:D
I am not susceptible to peer pressure
That's exactly what I said when the OH said I was being petty. I said I took my time taking it and uploading it etc and someone just right clicked and copied it in seconds, it's like you working on an assignment all week and someone just copying it in one day and handing it in.
Shame on you!!
I doubt that many sellers would notice though.
If someone is grabbign other people's images then it looks more legit than it really should...
