    Email the seller & tell them its a breach of copyright & if its not taken down within a set amount of time they will be charged - even if its not true (it may be, I don't know) it might scare them into removing it

    rayray you can right click disable the photos so the image can't be downloaded, but a person can still take a screenshot of the page and then crop out the stuff they don't need in photoshop. Nothing on the web is protectable like that unfortunately.

    I'd send the person a bill for the photo. I'm sure they won't pay, but they'll take the photo down really soon. And if they do pay, what a bonus!!

    Having this similar issue last week i contacted the offender and told them to remove the photos or i will sue for breach of copyright,and piracy..And that unless it is not removed within 24 hours you will contact a solicitor.My other advice if you dont get a response is to actually report them to ebay and small claims as it is totally illegal.
    good luck
