And ebay is also getting notified from me. I still sell and buy from there too. If the picture isn't gone by morning.. the seller IS getting a phone call.
They listed it on the auction... 409-899-4000
Made a mention on a site that has a ton of Texas people on it.. curious to see how many have dealt with this dealership.
It IS a copyright violation... and it IS against eBays rule.

The amount you are bidding on is the amount over MSRP. Example: The MSRP price for this vehicle is $32635.00. If you bid $5000 then you agree to pay $37,635.00 for the vehicle. Taxes, license, title or registration fees are not included in the final bid price. Shipping of the vehicle is not included in the price of the final bid but is available
Who in their right mind would pay that much for a reg gt vert. Add a few grand & you could have the saleen.
Anyway. I just found that pretty funny. JMO. Later guys.

well that is interesting the vin listed in the description of the car is a valid vin the car is a convertible and the build date is 02/02/05 so yes you read that right it was built on wed feb 2
if he just changes his pic it might be a legit auction just not the over msrp price
my 2 cents

I'm just waiting to hear from eBay. I contacted their emergency area.
Yea... the quotes made my head spin too haha
Atleast he kept my info on it (along with the site info) but just as Brad said.. I don't want to be associated with some dealership like this.

I'm no digital photo editing expert, but I think the only way to remove the TMS logo and not have it look strange would be to crop the photo and then add the new logo on what's left. In that case, Brad or Amy would provide Ebay with the uncropped photo with TMS logo. If the seller couldn't provide an uncropped photo with their logo, Ebay would rule in favor of TMS.

I emailed asking him to remove the photo. I wouldn't mind if it were a "normal" auction, but bidding over MSRP is a ripoff, and I don't want my site associated with it.

...So if like they said & someone won at 5k over they would still end up paying like 40k + in the end...

I think they just did it so all of us at TMS would view the auction 
It will be fun to see them have to take it down today. That will be the photo that they would least want to get rid of since the car in the auction is blue. I'm glad that someone one here found it.
