I had a heart attack! Saw my car on Ebay...
I was browsing through ebay motors and I saw this!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1872382781
I thought someone was selling my car! Out of my driveway! Then I read his description. Guy snagged my pic off of my website I suppose. I guess my car is a poster boy.
my pulse rate is slowly lowering again.

Got to love buying stuff off ebay.
Most are honest, but this guy's car is probably trashed but needed a sweet pic to sell it.

I looked all over the page and I couldn't find his email. Believe me I was going to email him and tell him that he gave me a heart attack. I really have no trouble with him using my picture. Actually I thought it was cool that he thought mine looked good enough to use. 
I was just going to email him to and let him know that it is missleading.
oh well.

Bill,
You can email him by clicking on "ask seller a question" tab that should be under his user id on the auction page.

I believe that guy should have asked you, first. If it was from your site, then I'm betting there was some way to contact you.
That would have scared me too...e-mail the guy and tell him to politely ask next time he wants to sell something @_@ geez

Thats would be scary if I saw my car for sale on e-bay. It would be really funny if it has the same options, and your address.

Thats funny. Have you heard back from the person?
If I do ask for a percentage it will be like 5 bucks or so. He hasn't had many bids.

He might not have it remotely linked to Bill's site though, he could've saved it and put it there himself.

he had to have saved it. Its got that iPix logo in the corner. i didn't have that on my car. Plus, geocities (my webhost) wont let that link for too long.

Anyone got any responses from him yet? Just curious as to what he might have to say.

Oh getting an ebay account is easy they do want a Ccard for Address proper mailing. But they dont bill it unless you buy something or anything like that.
