    Is he hotlinking? If so, change the location of the real images and put ones up at the old urls that say something like "This image was stolen from *urlname*".

    And if you are not actively seo-ing the pages he's linking to, do the same there.

    If he already has a bid, he wont be able to change auction, just take it down.

    Switching the image out with one that is objectionable for that type of content usually gets things changed in a hurry.

    Kemus has probably the best solution ... put up this is stolen then contact ebay ASAP
