Anything to be done about sellers who steal pics?

I remember a while back a discussion about sellers who steal pics. I thought some of the ideas were great, such as changing the pic on your server, so that the seller who stole the pic would have a message there instead of the pic. But lately, a PS'er has stolen a pic of mine and clearly has saved it to his own computer, then used eBays pic system to upload it into his auction. Now, I dont really mind that he "stole" my idea, since I realize it means I had a good idea, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery etc....but I dont want him to use my pic, while stealing my idea. 😉

Is there anywhere in eBay to report this? Or will they just ignore this? I have started by emailing the person, and asking them to remove it, and do thier own work. After all, ya never know....the guy MIGHT have SOME integrity left(hahahahaha).

Thanks,
Jaqui
