What can one do when eBay sellers use copyright-protected photos from fountainpen.de as supposed original pictures of their auction?

Montblanc Montblanc — general FAQ entry

Such auctions are a clear warning sign: if the pictures come from fountainpen.de, they do not show the article actually offered, and potential buyers do not know what they receive. Bidders should in such cases keep their distance. Sellers can be asked via "Question to seller" for correction but often react only late or not at all. A report to eBay for stopping the auction is possible but needs a lead time of several working days, which is why running auctions can often not be stopped in time.
