Dont you just hate it when people use your stuff without permission...
I was scrolling through ebay looking at items for sale on HHRs and I came across this guy selling driving lights.

I guess he liked the picture of my car so much that he decided to use the image to sell his driving lights without asking for permission first. Hopefully after sending an email asking him to politely take the image down he will do it.

I dont buy the reasoning that any pic posted in the internet is fair play. If that was the case I can then use images from macdonalds and pepsi to sell items on the net without getting in trouble...
essentially he's using a picture of my car without permission and using it in a way that promotes false advertising. The driving lights he's selling is not the same as the one installed on my car. People will think that the lights he sells are as bright as the ones I have on the picture. Now if thats not false advertising I dont know what is...

Ebay seller appropriated my image for his auction

In a recently completed auction a seller appropriated the image from my Ebay store to sell his copy of a signed Arnold Palmer, leather bound Easton Press edition. the auction number is below...
Item number: 7037568221
My store item Item number: 7028087987
Is this type of behavior commonplace? I find it rather low behavior. Is it in keeping with Ebay policies? My first inclination is to file a complaint? Is there a means to do so?
Any input appreciated
Brian
