I suppose I should be flattered...

I auctioned off a 7140 X-wing that a deadbeat bidder
didn't pay for last week...

I see now that eBay seller "ruworthit"

eBay lot: 414295875

copied most of my lot description word for word.  He
edited out a few sentences and shipping info, but his
entire description is exact, right down to sentence
structure and wording...

What can I do?  What should I do if anything?

Hmm. Did you put a copyright tag on yours? I haven't been. Guess I need to
start.

I think a copyright may be my best recourse going forward...

If I were you Larry, I would DEFINITELY copyright your items...your style is
quite different from many sellers and is a good resource of info and sets a
new standard for honesty (for that reason alone, many people might edit much
of the "don't buy this if you can get it cheaper at ____")
