need an advice on e-bay situation

[skeeve]

Comon strikes again... One of comoners brought this auction to my attention. Since I never dealt with this before I am wondering

http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Warhammer-...arms=240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50 Regards, ~C

The image used in this auction is mine. I probably wouldn\'t mind much although I am not sure how kosher it is to use other people works to advertise an auction.

Problem however, my model is heavily converted and it is simply impossible to assemble what\'s on this picture from what is in this blister. In other words the image is misleading.

Anyway, if there is somebody here who encountered something like this before, Should I do something about it and what?

I\'d say contact the seller first and ask them to take down the image and use one of their own. If that does not work, contact Ebay.

How do YOU know its YOUR model!? huh
meby the guy saw your model and redid it!!! ever think of that! huh!? lol

Juuuuuust kiddin yurii this is quite funny actualy

You should buy the model of course! Then you should convert and paint it to look like the one that is pictured in the auction. Then eMail the seller and let him know how inspiring he was and that HIS picture led you to paint the balls off the mini and win an award.

DO NOT MAKE LIARS out of people on the internet! We are all just humans, and we need to help out our eBrothers in just the same way we help our real life brothers.

Quit being selfish Skeeve! I thought you were one of the good guys and now I see you being part of the problem and not part of the solution. C\'mon man!

I\'ll agree with steelcult, ask the seller to remove it.

i hope you are joking...ebrother...

 

[crazyboyae1]

yeah me too, its kinda whack when somebody does that, because it is kinda wrong to use somebody else\'s picture without asking. the guys not a new seller, he should know not to do that by now... at leeeeast ask.

 

[PegaZus]

I would contact this guy IMMEDIATELY. But, be friendly about it, as if you\'re trying to help him. Explain that if the buyer gets it, and then realizes it isn\'t the heavily converted version shown, it will affect his star rating.

You might mention that you\'re flattered that he\'d pick your picture to sell the item, but since you did heavily convert it, it isn\'t representative of the model he\'s selling.

And then, if he\'s an ass, bring down the ebay fraud hammer and smote \'em. :twisted:

Yeah, joking. I\'m sure the dude will take it down.

[chaos877]

Scott... Headkick.com is a website for some dude\'s portfolio.

But yeah, BRING DOWN THE HAMMER! TAKE HIM DOWN!:twisted:

Seller has 34 transactions.

Seller took down the pic and put up someone else\'s pic of the mini.

Wonder if the seller got permission to use that pic? Seller did say that for sale was an unpainted mini.

 

[War Griffon]

Well it looks like you got what you wanted the seller has ended the auction

 

[Gearhead]

That\'ll larn \'im.

What did he say?
