One of my competitors -- who didn't have good images -- decided to use mine and hotlinked to them from MULTIPLE auctions. I switched the image on all my auctions and uploaded a file with the same name of the hotlinked file. It said something like, "This is a stolen image." He got all teed off because he could either (a) leave the images for the duration of the auctions or (b) prematurely end all the auctions and still pay the listing fees. Really? How about get your own images? A few years ago I was an eBay powerseller. One of my competitors — who didn’t have good images — decided to use mine and hotlinked to them from MULTIPLE auctions.

But ... , The replacement images changes to the dimension of the copied image ! For eg., The original image is http://mysite.com/image.jpg of dimension 800x900 replacement image is http://hosted.com/image.jpg of dimension 200x300 Now, the problem here is the replacement image is stretched to 800x900, making it hard to see the warning on the replacement image. Any idea how to make the replacement image to show specific dimension via .htaccess ?

The replacement images changes to the dimension of the copied image !

For eg.,

The original image is http://mysite.com/image.jpg of dimension 800×900
replacement image is http://hosted.com/image.jpg of dimension 200×300

Now, the problem here is the replacement image is stretched to 800×900,
making it hard to see the warning on the replacement image.

Any idea how to make the replacement image to show specific dimension via .htaccess ?

Thank You.

I remember having a problem to make it work for email subcribers though, so I took this code out :( My hosting gives unlimited bandwidth anyway I remember that you need to add a code to make sure your RSS feed reader to see the image (or else they’ll see the blocked/porn image!!!).
