Wow, I hope the person selling these macs is related to pvc-u-like otherwise Gary et all will be really annoyed.
It is a joke that some people do not even use new pictures and steal others...

Ebay sellers can be lazy twonks when they want to be. I was a model for an auction years ago for a HAZMAT suit without me knowing about it. Watermark your pics, watermark them!

I always send a polite request for the seller to remove the pic
Oh and of course an invoice via PayPal for unauthorised use
I'd report them to ebay but it takes up so much time

That is a great idea Ray. But, people assume that a pic, not with a watermark or copyright symbol, posted on the internet, is fair use in advertising their auction items.

In truth, even a watermark isn't completely foolproof, if someone is determined.
