Hehhh that's funny. Well personally, I would just let it slide because to me it's not a big deal and people do stuff like this all over the web. I'm sure all of us are guilty of taking pictures from the web and using it for personal gain without the permission of the owner, etc. for, say, school projects.

Nice black shinny car. What did you use to make it look sooo good?
And on the pic I agree to ask them to blur out the license plate. No harm done...I would consider it flattery. Now if it was an ebay motors auction and they said they were selling the whole car and they used your picture ...then that would be false advertisment and I would ask them to take the picture down.

So if they're linking to your pic... you can really fu#k with them.. if they just flat out stole it the least you should do is ask them to block out your license plate....

Threaten to report them to Ebay if they don't take down the picture (or at least fuzz out the license plate). Ebay won't do ****, but it does scare most sellers. I like the changing the picture idea, if they linked to it. By the way, you are entitled to some compensation if you asked me since they are using your car (and your picture) for financial gain.
