I took it much more negatively than this
There are other resources like Pause and Brickset you can link to to show
pictures of sets if you dont have a scanner or digitial camera.
Whereas this looks more like trying to pass off an impression that this is the
actual set on sale. And given that on-line auctions are already a source of
concern regarding fraud, no matter how innocently this guy might have done
through laziness, pointing out the source of this picture should alert
potential buyers to the fact it could just be fraud.
Beside the fact that it is also copyright infringement, which alone gives me
the right to ask ebay to remove the auction. see
http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-copyrights.html
I have given the guy 24 hours to remove it or I will ask ebay to.
But I am not sure whether I should alert ebay to possible fraud anyway.
