Default Buyers beware - Ebay fraud

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2454142676

I'm not really familar with E bay policies. But thanks to a s2ki members. This was brought up to me. Every single picture in the post are picture from what we have posted here on s2ki. The picture of the trunk is a trunk made by Seibon. I'm not sure if VIS even make this part. But the point is, the picture are from us. From m777erlin's car. And the seller is using false advertisement of someone else's car and picture.

Buyers beware.

Thank you

Yeah this doesn't look legit people. I'd really take extra care before I bid, or not bid at all. Is "nibble001" the same Nibble that's here on s2ki?

Good find Jeff.

I wouldn't spend $450 on an item when a seller only has a (2) feedback anyway.

Send the seller an email telling them to take your pics off the auction. You own the rights to your images, and have a right to control their use. If they refuse to take your pics off, send ebay an email and tell them your pics are being used without your permission, and they can do something. I don't know that they will, but they can.

VIS Racing does make a CF trunk lid, so the auction could very well be legit.

I have won the bid on this and haven't seen the trunk yet nor proper response on where about. also, it looks like he has posted more trunk lids out there. so be careful on this his auctions on big items. I'll keep you posted on this thread.
