United Kingdom 2015 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Santorini Black
Ebay Seller Using My Picture To Sell Their Wheels.

Was flicking through Evoque - Newly Listed just now & found a set of 18" Evoque Style 4 wheels for sale that were using my picture. I sent an email asking if the wheels in the picture were the set for sale & was told yes so I replied that's odd as that photo was the set I sold. He said does it really matter & my reply was yes it does as you are not showing the item for sale - that is either misleading or lazy.
He said I should get a life & stop being petty.
I said change the photo or I will contact Ebay! Mad (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

If you took the photographs, send him an invoice and let him know the copyright has been infringed.
You are quite within your rights to do this Thumbs Up

United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

Had this happen to me a few years back when i was selling records, came across a member who was using some of my images and my listing page - reported him to eBay and they suspended his account Thumbs Up

I wouldn't of normally bothered reporting someone but i sent him a polite message to say he was using my images and listing page i had made up for my eBay shop and would he mind changing it and removing my images,
and i received the same kind of emails back from the seller
In other words he told me to Censored off

That's the only reason why i reported him, could of been solved there and then but he thought he was a bit of a gezza and i couldn't do anything about it (He was so wrong) Laughing BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

He would have downloaded the photo to his own computer and uploaded it, anyways report him as the goods advertised is not correct.

The image is hosted on eBay servers and not externally linked, they have copied it and uploaded it.
I looked at asking a question about them but I they they can block the question and answer?

I know its only a snap of some wheels but it makes my blood boil this sort of thing, get eBay involved its what they are there for. Thumbs Up

Make up a fake eBay account (can be done in 2 Min's with no comeback to you - fake address and name, no need for paypal info) stick in a bid of £2000 and let the bid run - and when its finished email him and say
#These wheels mate will they fit a Nissan Micra#
when he says no - tell him in that case i don't want em

Or ask if he will take payment with tesco club card vouchers Laughing BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Hasn't even got the wheels yet Shocked bad smell written all over it, here's the response

Dear taztastic,

They are the same wheels, same size, same colour, same style and same tyres. Wheels are in storage and I will have them in a few days but have been checked and no issues. If you decide to bid and win and you see anything different fromthe pic I will be happy to refund you.
