espeng,

I took those pictures

Please allow me to educate you on International Copyright Laws. I am a photographer here in the USA. Every image I take is copyrighted, including the images you used on your eBay auction. Every image I take has my embedded digital watermark that identifies the image as my property.

International Copyright laws state that my images cannot be used for ADVERTISING unless you have written permission from the photographer. This permission is granted upon compensation.

I will double check my email and PM but, I do not believe I have received a request from you to use my copyrighted images for advertising.

If there is a question to why these images were posted on R/C Tech for the public to see, it's because I posted them to share my images. I did not post them for someone to steal and use for personal gain or profit.

Had I known about this earlier before your auctions were done, I would have simply asked you to remove my images from your auction... in fact, if you had simply asked me if you could use my images, I may have allowed it without compensation.

But, the damage has been done, You have stole from me and made profits from it. Please PM me and let me know how you plan on compensating me for the use of my copyrighted images.
