Well I was up until about 5 am last night trying to watermark as many of my images for my website as possible (I only got done with like 50 pics so I have hundreds and hundreds more to go

) and I also did manage to finally find a way to report her to ebay. Wether they do anythign about it fast enough I doubt it. I demanded that all the listings containing my pictures be removed immediately but I have had no response from them yet. Maybe Im overreacting a little bit but the more pictures I saw her use the more and more mad I got and I still am. She still has not responded or removed any of my pictures either. Im livid! She has used about a dozen of my pictures but she has them listed in probobly close to 100-200 of her listings. She even says in here listings at the bottom "2006 Pinky luxury All rights reserved" so she acts like SHE has copyrighted MY PICTURES! PLus she watermarked them

In my business you either take your own photos like I try to do, or you use the manufacturers photos that they provide. But whenever possible I prefer to take my own pics to make my website more unique as there are thousands of dog boutiques out there selling the same stuff using the same picture and that just bores me. PLus the manufacturers pictures just dont do justice to the products alot of the time. So if I can take a picture of the products on one of my dogs it helps show what the outift would actually look like on a dog. So this is what I do for a living 80 hours a week and I take it VERY seriously so maybe Im overreacting but I feel so violated having someone steal my pictures and watermark them in HUGE letters with THIER store name.

I had a few other people using just 1 or 2 of my pictures on ebay and I kindly asked them to remove them and they already did but I guess I just dont feel like being nice or patient with this **pinkyluxury** ebay store. You know what else? They dont even have a dog! Thier listings say that everythign comes from a pet-free smoke-free home. I know this isnt important but I just dont even think they should be in the business, that or Im sure they are lying about the pet-free home. I have never heard of anyone in the pet industry business not have a pet

OKay I have vented, and I really need to move on so I can get stuff done around here

Thanks everyone for backing me up and listening to me rant
