Default Isn't it strange?...

While I was doing my usual I'm-bored-I'm-going-to-look-at-eBay internet surf, I ran across this listing:



http://cgi.ebay.com/Xmod-Evolution-2...#ht_582wt_1165

I thought, that car looks familiar, then I realized, that it was mine.


Here's the car itself while I was taking photos for fun:




And one of the photos I decided to upload onto Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Xm...ildbodykit.JPG

So even though though it is essentially a photo anyone can use, it's still strange to see it on eBay (and it's going for $51.00 )

It's strange a little, I would be more concerned about someone who's using that image to sell an item on ebay to anyone who believe they are purchasing a custom scion xmod O.o

You can ask for say, money, for them using your picture.
Report them to Ebay for using YOUR picture and mis-representing what they are selling.
Or simple ask them to take it down.

Personally, I'm not too ****ed over it (nor car I do anything, I don't have an eBay account).

If someone wants to help me do something about it, then that's just fine. Otherwise it doesn't really matter to me, just something quite surprising. (and it's generating over $100.00)

guys, he can't sue the seller. the picture is off wikipedia and the fact that you put it there makes it property of creative commons. anyone can use it now.
