Default Danger some kinda scammer!

I have a bow listed on E-Bay. A guy asked me a question about the bow and I was trying to find the answer on the net when I stumbled on this:

http://www.zimbio.com/Bow+Hunting/articles/1595/Reflex+Compound+Bow+HOYT+BOWTECH+MATHEWS

Thats my picture and my Ad from E-bay. I don't know who, why or how it got it listed on this zimbio site. Be very careful, something fishy is certainly up with him and his affiliates.

Looks like someone adding content by snatching it out of ebay, I don't think there is anything to worry about. When you click on it it does go to ebay.

I have seen this before from different websites. I believe that they are linked to Ebay and they just get Ebay's auctions listed on more websites throughout the web.

If you click on the "Buy It Now" option it re-directs you to your auction on E-Bay!

Sounds like free advertising to me, but I would email ebay to make sure.

x2 - as long as ebay says it all hunky dory I wouldn't worry too much. And like robb said, its free advertising!
