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! :evil:

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. :roll:

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