The Best of eBay

[Tobiasly]

Here's another good one.

Even though it's in German, you can get the basic gist of it. This guy was selling a motherboard with CPU and memory on eBay ("everything you need", according to the guy above).

Unfortunately, instead of copying his own pictures, he linked directly to some on 2cpu.com -- a big no-no, especially for something like eBay where you're gonna generate tons of hits and suck up a noticeable portion of the other site's bandwidth.

So, the friendly folks at 2cpu.com decided to switch the pictures on him. Even better, eBay won't let you change an auction after it starts (only add stuff to the bottom), so he couldn't fix the links.

(Here's the two images they switched, in case the eBay listing expires:
