The person is blatantly violating the Creative Commons license of @Louise_Driggers . The thing is, one of the vero team on eBay has thousands of images on the web under Creative Commons licenses.

There is a rule of thumb: purely artistic things are probably going to be protected by copyright, purely functional things propably not.

Report him to Disney, he is selling Star Wars items that are not licensed. Looks like a couple of Nintendo items too, I think they like sending cease and desist orders.
