TAS is very good about taking down copyright material (infringing items). If you created the original photo, that is good enough, you are the copyright owner.
The information is all here:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/vero-rights-owner.html#report
Just fill out the form in -step 1- and send it to them. They say FAX, however there is also an email address below in the eBay's registered agent hot link: copyright@ebay.com
On notice (you sending the form to TAS), they act pretty quickly, within a day or two by ending the auction and notifying the seller of the infringing items (as listed in your "take-down" notice).
The seller might complain that you had no copyright claim to the photo at your website or on the picture. Such words are not needed. If you created the work (e.g. a photo), you own the rights to the photo, unless you have assigned the rights to others (e.g. sold or licensed rights to another).
