Emerald, It’s too late now for this auction, but Snapdragon is right. The best thing you can do is host your pictures somewhere else (and watermark them). You can always change or move a picture but if the thief copies the picture and then hosts it to eBay (as you did) there’s no way to correct it. Ebay will remove the auction eventually providing you were able to show them your auction(s) that they stole from. I have had the same issue with stolen artwork or descriptions and they did remove the offending auction. … As a suggestion, take a look at one of my own completed auctions http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330061806842
The image is watermarked enough to make it something that someone else would not want to use. In addition, if you *right click* on the page, as if to copy something, you get a stern warning. There is a way to get around this but most eBayers are to lazy to bother trying. If you want to use the code to bring up the warning in your own auctions you can copy it from the source code of my auction. Failing that, if you want to contact me, I will send it to you. Good luck with your own auctions.
