There is an option when posting on eBay to "Watermark" your images to stop this sort of thing happening :ok:

Wow no feedback at all and if you total all he has so far with his 10 items he's made $6145 so pretty bloody good rip off so I hope ebay do something real quick :(

The pic was taken from the second link Stevo put up, the mule site trout.. the bloody sneaky bugger

wish I didn't have a conscience so I could do something like that but I have so I won't.

We watermark all our images and they are stolen all the time.  I can point you at dozens of eBay listings that aren't ours that have our images (complete with watermark).  Stealers are gunna steal whatever you do.

I'd like to go on eBay and buy all the items that use my images. What are they going to do when I don't pay for it? It's not their coin it's mine!!

I've done that a couple of times.  While amusing at first so many people steal our images it's just not worth the effort.

Yeah when they see the bidder/buyer "uranimagethief" they usually get the message.
