Ebay auction using Transformerland.com pic?

Post by Overlord »

I'm uncertain if this warrants a post or if this is the right area but here you go

http://cgi.ebay.com/MASSIVE-TRANSFORMER ... dZViewItem

that's item 300237929494 incase the direct link doesn't work.

The auction displays the pic on the front page of transformerland.com showing the complete G1 line

however the auction is all for beast wars figures. Not an overt misrepresentation but still a misappropriation of the pic i believe.

Anyway as I'm uncertain if a board member is actually listing this or not I'm just placing the information here for possible clarification/action

cool

lol, he's directly using the image from my site, ie, the image tag points to transformerland.com (which uses up bandwidth, BTW).

Maybe I should temporarily change the image to say JOIN THE TRANSFORMERLAND FORUMS or something like that, hah!

Perhaps you should write "I like showing off!" under the picImage

Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light.

Well, it's fairly simple to do again...keep your eyes peeled and report here if you suspect someone is swiping our images for use on eBay. I've seen them being used a bunch in the past. I guess that's because I try not to watermark the images :)
