The internet encourages plagiarism, so the seller may not know or care
that it was wrong to do so.  I checked out the page,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2563924879

and he definitely claims that he had you describe it for him.  I'd send
him an email explaining why you want him to either credit you, rewrite the
info himself, or end the auction.  If he doesn't reply ASAP, file a
complaint with eBay.  Or... since he put in writing that you performed a
service for him as a professional, send him a bill for your services, and
let him know that you intend to pursue it in a court of law if he refuses
to pay, since the evidence is right there on the auction page.  :)
