The NERVE of some folks!

Was going through Ebay to see what the latest and greatest costumes were being sold and Low-and-Behold, there's a pic of me in a Batman costume being used for an auction!!! The seller is auctioning a 'Rubies' Batman costume. Not only is he misrepresenting what he's selling but he's using a photo of me to do it! The pic was more than likely ripped from the RPF or LOH when posting costumes but I don't know this person and, as I posted them on forums, do I have any recourse? I asked the guy to take the pic down twice and he hasn't responded. I don't want to be a jerk but I think it's an unethical selling practice.

The first photo is me. Not sure if he swiped the 2nd.
Has this happened to anyone else and, if so, what did you do?

I'd suggest reporting the auction, I honestly haven't gone through the reporting process but I'd give it a shot.

You go and report it. I went ahead and reported him, but it would help if you actually reported him too considering you have the originally pic. In the future you should put watermarks on your pics to protect your photos from being used again. Just looking out for yeah

Yep just report it, my Iron Man armor has been used in so many auctions I don't even bother any more. lol

Yeah, did that too. The drop down options when doing the reproting aren't as cut and dry, though. I did that last night but haven't heard from Ebay yet.

Good advice--adding a watermark to photos is something I just never thought of doing. Thanks, man.

Jeez--I'll repeat my thread title: The NERVE of some folks!

Well, looks like he took it down and apologized. Hate it even had to come to reporting him.

Watermarking photos is really easy, if there is not a sticky thread on it already, I would be more than happy to write up a "How To" for folks.

Phony Photoshop Batman!!!..LOL thats what Robin would say

I draw Anime/Manga on the side and the same thing happened with one of my prints...someone was passing it off as their work.

Good job Dark Knight!!
