Bottom line is I am not terribly upset over it. But thot it was lame that they didn’t ask. And that mine is custom made and they can’t get that from ford. As for proof that it is mine. I have an azure grey heritage on order. So I modified my photo to see if I could duplicate the azure grey color. And that is my fiend’s FJ next to it and they don’t make azure grey FJ’s.

Ok that makes more sense now. My local dealer has a bronco sport heritage in AG. Its a nice color. Ive seen quite a few others that painted the grills the same way too.Bottom line is I am not terribly upset over it. But thot it was lame that they didn’t ask.

hire a lawyer - there may very well be a payout for you for use of your photo without permission. but i think it also depends on how they got the picture... for example, if you posted the picture on the internet, i think it's game for public use, hence why some use watermarks.

Fair warning, I am stealing your magnificent phrase "bodacious love staff"!

I don't think you can do much without a copyright or watermark on your photo. Its just common courtesy to not use others photos. Hopefully they are nice and take it down.

His looks different in different lighting. I've seen him post it before.

Click on the web page, "Report this item" the item will be removed by ebay.
Y'all are funny here on this thread. Apparently no one here read the terms of service for B6G and how they can use your photos you post here. When you posted the photo you gave away your rights to no one using it.

B6G isn't using his photo and that isn't his complaint. A Ford dealer used his photo in a Ebay listing. Geez, read a little before copying and pasting.

Yes you are correct. B6G has the right to use the image. But some random dealer on eBay does not. I did not post my picture on eBay or on Keller ford’s website. Again I really don’t care that much about it. I just thought it was funny that they used my image. And it is not a heritage grill. But they are using the image to sell a heritage grill.Y'all are funny here on this thread. Apparently no one here read the terms of service for B6G and how they can use your photos you post here.

It is definitely shady practice to use a photo that isn't even a photo of the product you are selling to get people to buy a heritage grill lol I would report them to ebay as that is false advertisement since it's not actually the product they have. I don't understand why a dealer would ever think it's a good idea to do that.
