Funny eBay experience
Thought you guys with all your worries would enjoy this.
I was looking on EBay at the XK8 Jags for sale. Came across on one that looked like a pretty nice car, not as nice as mine however. In the description he had photos supporting his claims on work that had been done. Such as having had the cam chain tensioners replaced. The support photo to prove they had done the work was one of the pictures I took and published with my write-up on replacing the secondary tensioners. That was done six or seven years ago and has been a sticky ever sense. And I mean that exact same picture. I thought it looked familiar when I saw it.
You never know what these guys will do on Ebay.

I had a similar thing on eBay. I listed a 4.0 X300 AJ16 throttle body for sale on eBay and took a pic of it. I saw MY pic on another seller's advert for a throttle.
The seller even had a copyright 'water-mark' embedded in the pic as theirs!!!
I still have that throttle with the serial number so if I ever list mine again and get a threatening message I have a leg to stand on!!
SCREW THEM.

If anyone else has had to contact EBay I could use some pointers on doing that.

Photo and text (=description) theft are violations of eBay policy. I've had other seller's auctions cancelled by eBay in the past because I was able to prove that they stole my photos and/or description from an auction that I had run. Here's the policy. I'd imagine that it's a bit more complicated when the violator steals your photos from places other than an eBay auction that you had run.
