Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I know most of you have your photos copyrighted in our database. It has come to my attention that some of the ebay sellers are using our photos again. There are quite a few of mine, haven't checked out the others, except I did come across on of Patty's photos of 'Jade Rose'. @Patty
I contacted the one seller that has used a lot of my photos and ask him to remove them. I asked in a very nice way. He is not happy, but said he will remove them. I don't know why they don't take their own photos? We do know that many times the plants they are selling are not even the same as the photo they are using.
So far this is the only seller I find using my photos. edshostagarden99
Last time we went through this is was found that they were using many photos from our database for all kinds of plants. This even involved some of our admin people.
