How do I replace photobox photos? Stealing seller needs a surprise...

bylromarha

Another seller has directly copied my listing + photos on photobox.

How do I replace photos on photobox without getting rid of the existing html?

Have been unable to so far. Please help.

You can only do that if they have used the same imagelink as yours, right click on it and see.
They could have saved the image and hosted it elsewhere, in which case changing your image would be pointless.

No, I'm hosting it for them.

Clicked on their listing- went to my photobox account

Then just delete the photo in your photobox, and it will vanish from their listing also. If it was a host that allows you to have say "ebayimage.jpg" at the end, then obviously you could name another photo that and upload that in its place.

Ha Ha I like the idea. Maybe change it to something like this.....

Don't really know how to advise on the technical side of things but good luck

Don't want to delete as that means I need to replace the 8 photos on all my listings also - why should I have to do more work on their theft.

Haven't been able to replace the photos, so have plastered my ebay username all over them. Looks quite fun on someone else's listing!

Report them to ebay for using your images and have their listing removed.

Yup, did that last night. Listing stil live - and still with my user name all over the photos!

if you delete them and then upload new ones with the same file name it should re activate the link

Report them again.

I had a listing for a used pair of shoes before, somebody copied my picture and item description, even saying they had a scuff in the same place.

I reported it and the item was removed the same day.

The seller contacted me via my listing, saying something along the lines of,

"I know it was you who reported me blah, blah, blah."

I just said, yes it was, maybe it will teach you not to rip off other peoples listings and the time and effort involved to take photos, upload them, write a decent description, etc.
