If anyone is interested in the jacket I still have all the shots I emailed Platon if you want them sent over to judge.

The pictures here look strangely familiar.

Paddy, I agree the seller should have checked you were happy for him to use your pictures to help sell his jacket. It does sometimes happen on Ebay where the pictures from a previous auction are re-used when a jacket is sold again, but I'm surprised a member here has used your pictures on Ebay without permission.

Sometimes ebay gives the seller an option to find photos from the web. I have seen my photos used in this way, I suppose it could be regarded as a compliment of sorts. It's good to remember that once you post a photo on the web, almost anyone can grab it and use it. For this reason I try to stop my two daughters posting family photos on Facebook.
It's good to have some private memories not for public display.

You look great for a dead guy :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Same reason I quite randomly posting nude photos of myself - you never know where they will show up!
Seriously, anymore, unless you somehow protect your photos from being copied, people will lift them. That has happened to me a few times. It's at first flattering, then offensive. In an age where copyright is so important, laws are just not enforced so people go with the "I didn't know" bit. I think legally, we would all be out of luck as we seldom protect our pics. I think posting them publicly is in a way seen as giving permission.
I agree it would have been a courteous thing especially since both parties are familiar with each other. People go to great lengths to make nice images and for them to be used implies another is unable to make quality pics even when profit is involved. That's where it becomes offensive IMO.
Great jacket though!
