So, we have a couple of people over on e-bay selling stuff. One clown is selling some of my original ,photographs!! and another for £20.00 a South Africa DVD.. This really gets my back up, and as someone that has never ever ripped of or made any money from a fan, to see, stuff like this for sale, just pisses me of like big time.
If any of you are registrered with e-bay, then send them note asking first why they are ripping of fans, and also to why they are ripping of my own stuff, that has never been put out to make money.
Feel free to include my name!

Right, rolling up my sleeves, all being wel both items, have now been removed. Should you see any blatent pirate stuff on e-bay, then lets deal with it.
I have no problem with people doing trades etc, but not blatent pirate, ripping off etc, this is just not right.

I know lots of the OMD community trade on Ebuy, but the place still feels like a den of vipers to me, IMO. Some of its members semm to see nothing but currency signs wherever they go, whatever they see - one of the worst traits of human nature, IMO.

It kills the very nature of what these forums and its genuine fans are all about. I have loads of stuff, either my own collections, or stuff passed on from other fans, and even fans from this very forum. I'd hate to think that genuine people would simply not want to share just for the love of it  just because some 'looters' take stuff under the pretence simply to make a quick buck.
Good on you Neil for reporting them, I know you put loads of work into these sites and the stuff you have already to share with fans is appreciated, I'm sure, by the majority. It must be a sickener to see your trust abused like that.

Make sure to name and shame Neil, we can all report them next time!

Well, lets just say I "dealt" with the individuals on a personal level, and they pulled of the stuff, as soon as I got in touch, I think it is a case lf letting the people doing this for a profit, to know, that some of us "care" about OMD fans, and aint in the business to make a quick bob out of them.
So those that do keep an eye on e-bay, do reoprt things here.

Well done Neil - I remember some of my pics being used on something that was sold on ebay without my permission and I wasn't very happy. Glad you've done something about it.

Yup.. as I have said, I aint got a problem with anyone useing any of my stuff, and if they give a credit, good, that is a bonus.. but not to make money.. nahhh I just am not into that.
