Because the image shown in ebay is linked to my website, its not on ebays.
Therefore by copying it, albeit whilst perhaps viewing it via ebay, he is
copying it from my web site.

You dont have to see a copyright notice to violate copyright.
Ebay rules are quite clear
http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-copyrights.html
eBay Guideline: No Copying Allowed! When you prepare your auction listings you
generally should use only material (text, photographs, etc.) and
trademarks/names that you created or own yourself or licensed from the owners.
eBay Guideline: No Unauthorized Linking to Photos! You cannot link to somebody
else's picture (so it appears in your auction) without the owner's permission.
I might be being OTT in suspecting fraud, but still within my rights to
question this auction.
