Angry This is why eBay sketches me out...

TB Evo IX MR-SE with 5300 miles and a buy it now price of $11,500. WTF? Also, the other day I saw a Lancer with a bodykit and cheap wheels for sale...he said he had the "evo engine" and had a picture of the engine bay with the regular Lancer engine in it...somebody even asked him if it was a 4G63 and he said yes Poor poor consumer.

Yes scams suck for everyone! My brother had his 100% redone 86 honda 250R 4 wheeler in autotrader and someone stole his pics and put them in an online ad and tried to scam people.. Then people started emailing him saying what the price was cuz the two ads were diff and showed his 4 wheeler in CA when his ad was in NJ (where he lives) It sucks for everyone.. Cant tell who to trust!

That's why you have options...for instance:

You watermark your username on your pictures, or have your username in your pictures.

or

Host your pictures somewhere else, and if someone just hotlinks them to sell it somewhere else change the orig picture to a giant ***** or something.
