I might give them a chance by emailing them a copyright infringement notice. But then, yes I'd go after their seller account.

Hell yes its irritating for someone to steal your images. As recommended, notify ebay admin. They *should* take action against them.
Theft of images has become more rampant. I posted a photo I shot for a magazine some years back (another hobby) on a popular forum. I really didn't think anything of it til weeks later, when another new forum member posted it as his own...& he even submitted it to other publications as his work.
Emails to him went nowhere until I threatened legal action.
Eventually, he admitted to submitting my photo "by accident", as to not fully admit theft. He "withdrew" my photo from his submissions only after I proved it was my work. After this, every time the photo would pop up credited to him, I had to rehash the whole deal to get recognition for the photo. Only good thing to come out of it was that, I was eventually contacted by a publication asking to use the photo.
I'd recommend that you take as much action as possible to rectify the situation. Yes, its irritating but its yours & you should have the credit. Good luck.
