I have pointed that out to e-bay, we will see what they say.
A case of the second mouse getting the cheese! You should have put a watermark with your web site on all the pictures you post - an Ebay must!!
Your next option is to take your design and document it (fab drawings, parts list, QC inspection criteria, ETC).. And shop around for a low cost fab shop. With all the imported labor in the west you should be able to drive your cost way down.
You could also design up some nice matching side vents etc..
Good luck.
