There's a guy on eBay who is selling stolen images from DA artists!!
He tried to sell a copy of my KH:Two fanart yesterday (thanks, TheQueenofKawaii, for the note!!) When I emailed him, he deleted the auction immediately and replaced it with a (stolen?) FMA image, although the link to the auction still says "Kingdom Hearts II": cgi.ebay.com/KINGDOM-HEARTS-2-…
But I saw that he managed to sell a copy some weeks ago: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?…
He also sold one of Roboto-kun's artworks: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?…
and yesterday, he put up an auction with an image he stole from DanLuVisiArt : cgi.ebay.com/FINAL-FANTASY-VII…
He took adonihs' pic down and replaced it with a Cloud image he stole from yumix now!!
AND this, he took from tobiee : cgi.ebay.com/FINAL-FANTASY-VII…
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS GUY!!111
Please help check his other auctions and already finished auctions - I'm sure there's more stolen stuff!! Contact the artists if you recognize any!!
---->>UPDATE:
The seller babywatchthestar has decided to set his feedback to "private" (after getting some negative feedback finally!) and is now unable to sell any more of his stuff. [link] All of his auctions are down, at least for now. Maybe it'll at least take him a while to create a new account o.o;
I wish ebay could ban not just his account, but his IP address... or his paypal account... and everything >< (I seriously wonder what keeps them from banning at least his account, after all those complaint emails).
Anyways. Thanks to all people who helped report the stolen pics, and thanks to everyone who left encouraging comments!!
Thank you so much

Have you contact DevaintART and Ebays creaters. And tell them about "babywatchthestar". And how he's sealing other devaintART members art, who work sooo hard to creat their wounderful artwork, and then had the nerve to sell them on Ebay to innocent people who have no idea that he stole them.
Also once you and the other devaintART members, who's art was stolen, contact Ebay creaters and tell them; they shold give you guys his information so that you guys can sue for stealing and selling your guys artwork. And if they don't give it to you then you guys should sue them for helping an criaml and if needed you guys can go to the media and tell them about ebay and "babywatchthestar".
I may be overreacting but this is serious if babywatchthestar is able to getway with this, then other people can do the same thing...........*sigh* peolpe theses days...no respect for art and artist....
