I have had three auctions this month where people are stealing my photos, I know there is some HTML code out there to prevent this, does anyone know what that is??
Thanks so much~

This will only stop the most novice user. Are they stealing the pic or the hosting as well? You have more control over the hosting, you can put up an unflattering picture (just be sure that it does not affect your auction) - If it is just the pic, copyright notice across or something. I know it is ugly, but if it is the same person, perhaps they will move on and you can post without it. I am less bothered by those who copy any pic I take, it is more serious when they use your hosting service, which does cost people money sometimes.

If the person has paint shop pro, there is nothing you can do about it as they can copy the image as shown. Even putting a name or something on it can be easily edited out. The best thing to do is to delete your photos after you ship an item or change the url on it or quit worrying about it and move on. I have had it happen many times and I am sure many that I didn't even know about. It is kind of sad people do it, but that is the world we live in.
Good luck,
