I guess you can email him and ask him to take them down 
His email from the Ebay auction: kenn4g@yahoo.com
...And eventhough it says Kenn, NO, that is not my email address

You can go to the link at the bottom that says Security Center, then click on report another problem and follow the directions to tell eBay that they are using your pictures without your consent. May or may not do anything but it's worth a shot.

I'd change the original picture to a Horse's asshole or something.... just be sure to keep the same file name so the new photo shows up in his auction!

But really, I don't see what the big deal is...he posted the pics on the internet, that makes them fair game does it not?

I'd say it's tough to do anything legally.

If you contact EBay through the procedure written above by another poster, EBay will often stop the auction at its end and they'll have to do their auction all over again. I assume you have to give some proof that it is your image though. I've had one of my auctions stopped because of this (I used an image I thought was from the manufacturer of the product but was from a retailer)

this is why i put a little copyright in the bottom corner of all my pictures and dont post them unless i do that. that way if i find a picture of mine being used and can prove it was only hosted one place and that place has a copyright on it.

It's not that big a deal, just that those pics aren't of a comptech exhaust, I don't know how different the two are...and don't you have to pay to put pics on an ebay auction?
I guess I don't get why someone who could afford a TSX, then a G35, and perf parts on top of that, couldn't take/post their own pics...makes you wonder about the seller, but then he has 100% feedback...
oh well, I emailed the guy, not likely that'll do anything...

I would definitely report him because he is posting some pics that are totally incorrect for a Comptech Exhaust.
I still think the horses asshole is a great idea.
