I caught someone who copied my pictures. I have them watermarked and she copied them anyway. She's a Powerseller that I've actually bought from before. I'd like to get even. Anyone have any really good pictures that I can use to upload in place of the pictures?

Aintrich- Really! My watermark is right across the pictures she stole. I had an auction close for $128 (turned out to be a mistake in bidding) and she literally copied all of the pictures and my title. She's a powerseller that I've bought from previously. I'd really like to get even with her by swapping the pictures with some comical ones. I'm trying to find some pictures of donkeys to show that she's a real jackazz for copying my pictures!

Have you checked the source on the pictures on her auction. If you changed your picture and the original still shows on the auction if seems likely that she downloaded yours by right clicking and saving or even making a screen shot of the page.
In the past people with your problem have been advised to use a script to disable right clicks in their auctions. In my experience that is not going to help a lot because there are a number of other ways to get the picture.
Since it is watermarked there should be no problem reporting her to eBay for this clear violation of the rules.

Thank you, Photo. I did report her. She's with Vendio, too. I wonder if she'll see this?
