This kind of crap is pure stealing of your (or photo.net's) bandwidth  
and it's wrong.

I'd do a couple of things

1 - ask the seller WHY he's doing this, asking via the ebay system.   
Those questions tend to appear on the auction.
2 - then change the page to something which ridicules the seller as a  
bandwidth thief...at the end of the auction put your page back...

example:  <http://www.365questions.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/
