I fired off a furious e-mail to the seller, with instructions to remove the photo at once. The reply came back saying since there was already a bid on it the photo could not be removed [true]. She apologized, saying that she had downloaded the photo from a webshots album. I then replied that the listing could be ended and the brug shipped to that bidder. I then added that I do have many images on webshots, but these albums were by invitation only [many DG members who are my customers have been issued invitation to view these photos]. I admonished her that going to my albums and taking my photos was equivalent to coming to my house and helping herself to whatever she could pick up. Unethical. The listing was for my Versicolor Peach. Attached is the photo I’ve used for my listings, which she took and used for hers.
