Photo hosting...

The joys of hosting your pictures...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blue-Jane-Norman-Top-Size-8_W0QQitemZ250488972067QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWomen_s_Clothing?hash=item3a524e6323&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

How is it possible that this buyer can pinch another seller's photo and the seller has managed to 'change' the image?

I thought if you saved it then pasted it, the same picture would be used? :confused::confused:

    Sorry im lost, can we see the original sellers pic you refer to please?
  • I'm afraid I cannot paste the original picture. It was just a light blue top. Upon clicking it from a list of browsed/searched items I was looking at, it took me to the above seller's item, but it wasn't the top, just a black picture??!!

    I bet they copied the picture from another seller who hosted it on another site, found out that the buyer copied it and decided to change the image to the above...

  • How weird? :eek:

    It was a black image of something yesterday. Now it is the blue top. Reckon the seller is an MSE, saw this and changed it?

    But, one thing I don't understand as asked in post 1 was: how can a seller (b) copy seller (a)'s photo, then seller (a) being able to host that image and change the image to something naughty???

    If it is on an external site like photobucket all the owner of the photo has to do is change what the photo links back to.
