Report Seibertron photos on eBay auctions

As many of you are aware, the problem with eBay sellers using Seibertron.com photos in their auctions is becoming more and more rampant. I don't mind so much when the Seibertron.com watermark has been left intact in the photo, but I keep seeing more and more eBay sellers getting rid of my watermark.

Many of you have contacted me over the last couple of years expressing your concern about this. I have finally signed up for eBay's Infringment program to help ease this problem so that you guys can make sure that you are receiving the item pictured in auctions and on a lesser note to prevent the use of my images in eBay auctions.

If you see use of the Seibertron photos in eBay auctions, please post a link to the eBay auction in this thread. I will contact eBay to inform them of this infringement to help clean up eBay auctions.

Most recent example: http://cgi.ebay.com/SALE-2008-TRANSFORM ... dZViewItem

Thanks for your assistance everyone!

I had posted about this before. The problem with using someone else's pic, is the figure the person is selling may not be the same as the pic used.

Digital camera's are so cheap, and a 6 or 7MP with a good lens will work fine.

Scalpers steal from the collectors and now even the collectors' site. Sometimes Ebay is really evil.

God to hear EBay actually did something. I'll keep my eyes peeled for auctions using your pics.
