It doesn't matter whether the person copied it from his web site or his eBay
auction page, it is still his picture. His auction started first, he has the
picture on his web site, it is his only. Not seeing a copyright notice does
not excuse violating it. I know when I buy an opened set on eBay, I want to
see the actual goods showing the condition of the box and maybe even the set
assembled in front of it. That is the most proof I am going to get about the
seller having the set and the condition of the set I am buying. The person who
buys the goods on this second auction is obviously not going to get the set
shown there. Who knows what kind of condition this other set is really in?

You're not over the top on this one. You are alerting a lot of eBay users that
this is an auction to avoid. I think you can get it stopped too if you send
off an email to the eBay staff.
