I saw Chris Kent seeds for sale on E-Bay. Just type in giant watermelon seeds. Has pictures and everything. I especially love the part that explains how these seeds are not in any way shape or form GMO's.

Handyhomegrown, there is a certain person(s) bouncing around the giant vegetable (AG) forums asking for seeds and then turning around and selling them on Ebay. The answer is in my post...

Good luck Chris. It will be near impossible to stop this person from using your photos and in essences your good name and standing to sell his seeds. Low life Riff Raff!

Here's what I'm going to do when I see this happening. At the bottom of the auction page you can "ask the seller a question". Here is the question I will send: **Hello, I was wondering if you had Mr.(insert name) permission to use the photo of him(them) with their giant watermelon? I'm betting you don't. Those of us that grow these giant fruit work very hard to accomplish melons of this size. We don't approve of the use of our photos by others for financial gain.** I will keep a shortcut to every auction with others photos and "Ask them a question" everyday, until I see the picture come down or until ebay gets mad at me...

Keep us posted Dewight. I had the same problem about 10 years ago and all I got from the seller was a nasty email. E-Bay did nothing.

I think you have a great idea !
As a FAMILY (watermelon and pumpkin growers)we should all do this, for Marvin and Chris. I will, so what if we get an e/mail - don't open it - !

I guess you have to watermark your pics you post on internet or there fair game for anyone to use by law.I may start this in the future with my photos,
