Replace the pic in photobucket with a more "suitable!" one & set up another account.

You could use your picture editor to open a new pic (just a blank one). Just write in text in the middle 'Please do not steal my pictures!!!' save this as a jpg. Give this new picture exactly the same name as the original.

Change your present picture with the new one. This is what will show on their page.

If you need to use the original picture still. Rename it (just a small change) and re-upload it to photobucket, then point your own auction to the new address.

That should teach them!

Not sure exactly but have you tried copying them to a new account then removing them from the account that has been robbed? Then upload new pics with the same titles but wrong pics? Not sure if this would work but it is worth a try as even if it does not work the person who has nicked your pics will have little red crosses where the pics should be :snow_laug

I suggest that you look into adding a copywrite or a title over the picture with your Ebay user name that way you get a free add if pinched.
