gotta disagree. An auction listing is a 100% a presentation--descriptive words have to be chosen, the item has to be set up just right to be pictured, the pictures then have to be taken and right one has to be decided upon (sometimes I have to take 5 or more picture to get just the right one), those pictures have to be uploaded to the system, and the auction, shipping, and paying terms have to be decided upon and then put in to words and typed up. It is as much a presentation as one at work would be (and for many of us, Ebay is at least a part-time job, if not a full-time job). It shouldn't matter how long it took someone to do, or whether you think the presentation is 'special' or not, or what the results of this 'stolen auction' were--if someone steals it---it's wrong, it's a biggie, and it should be reported and stopped.
