Hello Bill? On the right hand side of the eBay display, there is a line which says-- ask the seller a question--click on this and you will be able to state your concern. If he does not respond after a couple of tries and you've given him/her time to respond, s/he can be reported to eBay who would probably at least frown on his unauthorized use. I'd not assume that he is misbehaving. Many people are unaware that such pictures are not necessarily in the public domain--which is why it's good to have your name on them and some growers do, e.g., Henk Wouters, Mauro Peixotto .
