In the mean time, I'd say: bug the shit out of the guy!

No, that is the wrong way to go about it. You're actually violating eBay rules if you try to subvert the auction by contacting bidders.

I have had this happen too many times to count. I have even had it happen while my original listing was running, and the funny thing is quite a few times it was experienced eBayers doing the stealing. It's business not beanbag and I take my work seriously. It sometimes takes me several minutes to come up with my witty desrciptions. OK, not normally, but always when I use them pollysillahbik words. That's hard work, I don't take kindly to some mouth breather absconding with my bon mots and expertise.

Theft of intellectual property is one of the few issues eBay takes seriously. I have implemented methods so that content in my auction listing is protected from pilfering, but in the past I routinely contacted eBay and the offending listing was removed, too sweet. Do it here, some of your description is plainly copied, that is pretty clear.

I never dealt with the thieving dirt bag personally. Tell it to the judge is my motto, right after fight dirty and never order seafood on Monday.

Don't eff with a man's livelihood. The wife, sure, but never the livelihood.
