Last night I saw an auction for a Star Trek "hand-built" 20" shuttlecraft. The pictures used were of my scratch-build from earlier this year. The seller "Props1029" located in Michigan listed it for $5,000. His description of the item was a mere sentence or two.
Since he does not have that specific item to sell (it was sold to someone in Rhode Island who still has it), the seller was engaging in fraud. I notified him I was aware he was using my pictures for his auction and reported the listing to Ebay who are investigating him. His feedback has a couple negatives already from people who complained they paid but never received their items.
The auction has since been taken down, however, I thought people here should be warned.
