| Are people allowed to use Bricklink pics to sell on eBay? I see a minifigure
doing it.

It depends from where the BL pics come.

If they were the original creator of the image, I would think (hope) they still
have the right to use it where-ever they decide to do so. If you are speaking
of people lifting images from BL randomly, that might be a problem.

P.S. This is why I always put a logo on my images, and yet I have still seen
other seller try to use them … logo and all.

I regularly see sellers using stock images from other sites, so I doubt ebay
enforces anything.
Perhaps flag it under copyright? I've noticed though when I flag listings
(for other reasons), they don't go down much. I'm guessing it takes multiple
user flags to get ebay's attention.
I've had 2 listings flagged/removed over the years (not lego) for "forbidden"
items when dozens if not hundreds of sellers had the same listing up (and many
in the sold listings), so again, I think unless a listing gets brigaded with
users flagging it, I think nothing happens.
That said, if you want I'll flag the listing too, if you decide to go that
route.

I just wondered about it. The image looked familiar and at first I thought it
was one of mine. But it was actually samsam's pic.

My stance on it is that you can do anything that copy and paste will allow you
to do.
At least until someone complains.
