Stolen Photo on Ebay From Flashlight Foy!

You know you've been spending too much time on BLF when you can recognize another user's residence / property in a photo!

-Garry

What was posted a couple weeks ago, about Foy's photo or about the Chinese sellers using different Ebay accounts?

-Garry

Someone posted and let Foy know that some ebay sellers were using his photos.

Ok, guess I missed that, sorry.

-Garry

No problem. It was posted in a flashlight review thread, good to have its own thread now so people are aware of it!

You guys want to have some fun? I'm in if you all are. Let's get a bunch of BLF members here to send that guy a message stating this.

Hi,

I was very interested in your Ultafire 501B and was just about to buy it, but then I noticed that picture you stole from a guy on Budget Light Forum and it made me change my mind real quick. Thanks anyway.

That should get him to remove it.

Yeah, and link to the thread with the photo and explain you no longer want it because it's really a photo of an Ultrafire UF-980L!

Oh, and I went and did a search for the previous mention of Foy's stolen photos and I couldn't find it, so it wouldn't have done me any good to search first. (At least this didn't happen over at "the other forum" where I would have been castrated for doing such a thing and expected to know the post existed without it coming up in a search!)

-Garry

Sorry, wasn't saying you shouldn't have posted this. I am glad you did!

I already sent my comment to the seller. I told him what I said above.

I sent the Foy link as well. I then said ebay ought to kick you off.

Anyone have experience with 365bid? Maybe they are a good seller? Just following what every other seller does.

Here is the thread I was referring too. Check the bottom.

I just logged into my eBay account and sent that %$^$*() a nasty message. You can clearly see the 980L in the photo if you blow it up a little.

Hi E1320 & all,

I'm here, to take your criticism.Smile

Thank you for your message E1320, and I don't think it's nasty at all.

In fact, Mr. Flashlight Foy sent us a message before Christmas, after comunication we were allowed to continue using this great picture.

But now, I finally know this picture is not the correct photo of the light we are selling,we are going to take it down, please give me a little time. We don't want to mislead our client.

I feel really sorry about that, please kindly accept our apologies!

sincerely

seriously??

no comment. (=no further comment needed from my part)

Gotta Love it! Consumer action = Vendor reaction.

"We don't want to mislead our client" lol!

I thought that was the picture of WF501B, and now I know it is not.

Im sorry ! we are going to take it down, please give us a little time.

We are a married couple living in Hong Kong, although we are just parttime eBay seller,

we are offering the product which has good quality and reasonable price.

We are try our best to keep 100% feedback by doing what we should do

- to be honest - fast shipping - accurate descriptions and good communicaion.

True, there have been mistakes, but I think that's because we lack experience.

I'm sorry for the mistakes I made, please accept my apology!

sincerely

I accept your apology and appreciate your fast response. To alienate the entire BLF family by using an unauthorized photo would be a grave mistake for your business and your honor. I was not aware he gave you permission to use his photos. It really is up to Flashlight Foy to comment on this thread and make this matter right.

Take the photo down now. It is misleading and I am sure Foy would not approve.
