contact them....at least they kept your name on there

Submit a NOCI form via the VeRO program.

Only because they couldn't figure out how to delete that part. Send them an e-mail that if they don't take down your photo asap that you'll contact ebay directly. That should probably do the trick.

Edit: Ki's form is a great idea. I'm going to bookmark it since I've had problems in the past with ebay and people stealing my photos. Thanks!!

Lame. Ironically (or not) they are the only seller that I have a problem with buying plants from on ebay. They sent my seedling to Los Angeles Wisconsin so it was lost in the mail for weeks. It was a measly little seedling too.

The VeRo program works quite well, I think. The first time you have to fax it in (needs a signature) but generally they let you do email after that.

Talk to Dot (Slipperfan) about that. That seller has a history of using her photos without permission, I believe. Maybe she can offer advice.

 

[Gilda]

Thanks to all..I PM'd Dot for advice, and have downloaded the NOIC form(bummer it has to be faxed the first time) I also contacted the violater via Ebay.

I always try and put the name near the bloom so it is difficult to edit the picture . This seller obviously doesn't care ! I have contacted them to remove the photo from their listing and so far no response.

Nuke 'em!

 

[MoreWater]

I think many sellers don't care so long as their item sells, so the best way to get their attention is to get the auction stopped before it ends. If they re-list the item again with an unauthorized photo, stop them again. EBay needs time to process the noci, so the sooner it's sent in, the better.

It takes work to protect rights, so you have to decide what it's worth.

It's gone from their listing !:clap: Anyone ever seeing my photos on Ebay please let me know. I try and scope slippers on Ebay out, but I have been very busy , so this one only had a couple of days left before I caught it. Thanks all !

I've had problems with jkorchids, too (though, not with them using my photos). Glad you got it sorted out!

Dot, the flower photo has the borders that you often add? Is it yours?

 

[goldenrose]

....hmmm...... just happens to be the same vendor! Doesn't learn too quickly!
In a way I can't blame him, as you both have such good quality photos!

 

[Gilda]

If you go and look at what this vendor has listed ...I see some familiar backgrounds, everyone should go take a look and see if their pictures are being used !!!

[goldenrose]

Does one need a photo program of sorts to put an ID on a photo as Gilda & Dot have?

 

[Heather]

I could be wrong but it looks like some of Peter Cataldo's (Greenpaph) are being used as well?
