My wallpapers being sold on eBay AGAIN!!

[jenepherre]

::tearing hair out::

Much thanks to sandstorm63 for pointing this out to me.

This seller on eBay has 2 items up that are actually wallpapers I made.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZrenokvpQQhtZ-1

Item # 7567794290

and Item # 7567795329

PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE ITEMS! I'm writing to the seller and to eBay to get them removed, but I wanted to get the word out as fast as possible.

Another thing - there's no way those are Gale and Randy's real signatures. No way.

If you want to confirm that the images are indeed my wallpapers, look here:

http://www.inxplicable.org/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-122

http://www.inxplicable.org/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-119

Please help me spread the word that these images have been used without permission. The Vanity Fair image - as you can see - is a manipulation I did. Can you imagine Gale and Randy being willing to sign that? I can't.

Why does this keep happening???

Thanks in advance for any support and help.

ETA: Be careful of the other signed QAF items this person has up as well. The signatures are definitely fake, as are the COA's.

The supposed 'certificates of authenticity' are most likely bullshit too. Plus why would there be a certificate of authenticity for Gale & Randy's signatures on something from Cowlip? That makes no sense to me. And 'original photo'? Yeah, more like 'I printed this of the internet onto photo paper'.

Oh hun.
*bashes pathetic stealer*

Also, otakuraven pointed out to me that it looks as though Gale's last name is spelled wrong. There's 3 upper loops, so unless Gale's spelling his last name Harolld or Haroldd, it's wrong.

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Freakin' idiot. Can't even forge a signature correctly.

I'm curious about the other two QAF items this person has up too. I'm sure all of those signatures are forged too.

Thanks for being so supportive, Tina. ::hugs::

I posted in my LJ. I also emailed the seller asking why they were selling your manip, and while rare, its stil not theirs to sell.

That is so fucked.

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Have I mentioned lately how much I ♥ you?

[mythicalkiss.livejournal.com]

Jesus f-ing Christ, people are asshats. >:|

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Asshat is far too nice a word for them. ::sigh::

Just makes me sick to my stomach, you know?

[mythicalkiss.livejournal.com]

God, I know. And it's been quiet for a while. Thought people had finally wisened up. I guess you need to stop making stuff so damn authentic looking! ;)

[mythicalkiss.livejournal.com]

Oooh. Bidding has ended without sales on both of them. GOOD.

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Yep. Will update with details shortly. Must eat dinner first or I'll fall over. Ugh.

Notice the other two QAF items of hers are still up though.

[otakuraven.livejournal.com]

I reported the items to Ebay and left the person two nasty e-mails.

Keep us updated.

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

You totally rock. Totally. Thanks.

[poodles-m.livejournal.com]

first, I am crazy about that icon.. LOL.. OH HOW TRUE THAT IS o_o

this wallpaper thing is unbelievable. There is no mistaking that, that is your photo manipulation from the Vanity Fair picture.

oh dear, take a deep breath, don't let this get your kishkas turned inside out. deep breaths.. deep breaths

take care

[poodles-m.livejournal.com]

ps. just left them a nasty message heh heh, bastaards

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

You can use the Snoopy icon if you want. No credit needed since it's really Charles Shultz's creation. :-)

The 'deep breaths' is a good reminder. I do get far too worked up about this stuff.

And thanks for sending the nasty messages. hehe

[poodles-m.livejournal.com]

hey, it takes one to know one.. i get worked up also.. not worth it.. it can make you seriously ill.. and you don't need that extra stress, jen.

♥

thanks... I think I will use the icon. I LOVE IT.. it fits me perfectly too. LOL.. and I will put a mention to you. xo

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

::hugs you::

[humming-along.livejournal.com]

Nasty messages sent to "ask seller a question". Thieves suck. ::hug::

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

::hug back:: Thanks honey. Haven't been on LJ much, but hope you're doing well.

[humming-along.livejournal.com]

Here is her reply:

Hi,
I am neither a theif or a liar. First of all, I have already written to Jen and apologized for whatever she thinks has happened. The photos have been taken down. I had no idea to know if her images were accidentally being used, as I don't produce the photos. I have been selling for a Toronto Gay & Lesbian centre for years now. They make the photos, get them signed, and I sell them. I can only say this so many times: Just because the photo was mistakenly used, does not mean in ANY WAY that the signatures are fake. I have been selling for over 5 years now and I stand by every item I've sold. This was a mistake so please stop the emails. It's really not fair to just go off on a complete stranger without knowing the real story.

Thanks in advance.

[peach1250.livejournal.com]

Well, I compaired Randy's signature to the one on my lj [which I watched him sign in person] and I'm pretty sure he never touched these pictures. So this person is full of shit.

[mirror-mirror.livejournal.com]

That's some nerve. Ugh. >:|

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Actually I think it's just stupidity. Of course, I'm starting to calm down a little now. It helps that I have so many awesome, supportive friends. :-)

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

Jesus, the stupidity just never ends.

[bea-nonymous.livejournal.com]

I will never understand why people do this sort of thing. Sorry it keeps happening to you. I will assume my boxer's stance in case you need me ;)

[littlemisstexas.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry *big hugs*, I'll never understand why people do things like that. *shakes head*
