Francine..................you send an e-mail to the owner operator of Aquabid. It also happened to me. The owner of Aquabid asked me to prove that the photo was mine.......I did it and he pulled the add from Aquabid. The person I believe was stopped from participating on Aquabid for a month or something like that......the whole process took about 24 hours and bingo the add whole add was pulled! I agree Francine......if they had only asked!!!! I have so far given everyone permission to use my photos................... The name of the person is not of importance but the incident is.........our cameras and our time are valuable!....just ask and please respect our judgment! You guys have a great Sunday!!!
