They've probably got it off a Google search. You can copyright images if you don't want them being used. I'd consider it a compliment that they're using your photos.

We had this before when selling a supra, we were getn messages asking why there was an ad for £14000 an another ad with the same car for £7000, we called the police they said to get in touch with eBay to remove the ad an advise everyone asking about the cheaper car ad to say it was a fake

His fully comprehensive insurance for his car said he was covered to drive other cars but in the small print it's only 3 party cover for other people's cars.

So lesson learnt!

So you didn't get paid out for the car

As far as I know it's always been third party only cover on another car if you're fully comp on your own.

After a lot of arguments he got a loan to pay towards the car but still left me massively out of pocket.
