Just received a PM from a member (wasn't sure if you'd mind me saying your name?, so I haven't for the moment) alerting me to this eBay ad.

Screen grab in case the item is revised/removed.....





Now whilst I'm 'flattered' that they've chosen my pic to illustrate their ad (and it does say that the pic is for illustrative purposes only), the simple fact is that they didn't have the common courtesy to ask for permission to use it - and given that they could only have copied the pic from my thread on here they knew exactly how to get hold of me to ask as well!! If they'd even credited the forum as the source then that would at least have been something.

So, the item has now been reported for using an image that is breaching copyright. Balls to them - if they haven't got the decency to ask first, when they knew exactly where it came from, then tough.

I'm sooo tempted to ring the number on the ad tomorrow and say I'm ringing about the ad on eBay - then whammy them with the bit about it being my pic!
