Haven't I Seen This Before?

A couple months ago, I posted about 20 pictures of Stevie from her concert in Tempe, Arizona during the Bella Donna tour. I've had people warn me that "certain" Ebay sellers troll through this site, looking for pictures to steal. Well, here's the proof:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Bella-Donna-Stev...QQcmdZViewItem

I looked through the seller's other items, and the vast majority of them are all of fairly common photos, most of which I've already seen posted on the web. They're even selling a direct screenshot of her from the Tusk doc, reproduced in black and white!

Should I stop posting pictures, or is there some other alternative?

Stop posting if eBay kachingers rankle you, or stick a watermark or e-imprint on your photos. The problem is pervasive -- it always has been -- & people use different means of dealing with it.

People on ebay are idiots! And the people that fall prey to these idiots are bigger idiots (sorry.....)

The person selling those on Ebay...belongs...or did belong to the Seven Wonders Board....MsGypsy I think. She has two accounts on Ebay, one with MsGyspy I think and the other one...with the link you posted....

I would put a watermark on them...sad state of things I might add

See Gold-Dusted'd rant about this very thing. Bugs the crap outta me too.

Anyone recall that South Park episode where the kids are talking to Chef's parents I think and they start in on the story bout Bigfoot or something coming after them for a buck fitty? Cracks me up. Whenver I see that seller on Ebay, I think of that sketch and their desperate plea for $2. eightycent. Just funny if you ask me. Bedtime....

She actually has THREE eBay accounts! Her newest account is blue-lamp-visions-2008. Her other account is msgypsy. And the third account is an account by her husband - skinbug. It makes me sick seeing her selling **** to true fans.

Looks like she is doing more as to bug you with this crap....I do believe that she's selling dups from one of your Mirage photos. I'm not really sure but remember that you had sold these last year.

Ugh, this kind of crap is annoying. It's too bad that this is happening to you, and I hope she loses her eBay privilages, if there is such a thing.
