Wonder if he knows about this. If it's eBay there's been a few of us including myself who have had their pictures used without permission

Though I don't know the specifics, it might be because I believe he is sponsored by Concept One.

Nope, I never knew about this, haven't seen it. They never asked for my permission either but I'm not sure what I can do about it. What have others of you done?

And Gville350, I did have a brief sponsorship with them but I don't know who this seller is; I don't believe they're affiliated with Concept One.

e-mail the ebay retailer, let them know that you are the owner of the vehicle, and that they do not have the right to use your vehicle for their advertisement.

not much else beyond that, unless you want to get litigation-happy.

I browse eBay quite often and see a lot of IS's here on CL on there. Everyone should browse through eBay and make sure nobody is using your images without your permission (directed towards modded cars).

I've had my current and past ride's pictures posted on ebay. I just did what projectdna did and they removed it.

Well, if you did have a sponsorship, and signed paperwork...it probably mentioned about using your vehicle's images with Concept One wheels in its advertising (which would include their authorized retailers, including that one on ebay [of course I'm assuming they're authorized to re-sell Concept One wheels]). If you still have a copy of that sponsorship paperwork, I'd read it over looking for wording about using your vehicles images.
