Unfortunately you can only report items that are a: a direct

a member of the VeRO Programme, and be the owner of the said rights

trademark infringement', the other categories address counterfeit
goods etc all of which ebay tends to ignore unless they receive a
certain threshold of reports (ie: a waste of time) but again we are
talking about a physical objects that need to be protected by patents/
copyright which I hope the builders of the clock get before they see
these guys benefiting anymore from their hard work!
Dave, the voice of reason. ;-)
I've never bothered with such things as patents and trademarks, because
they are more trouble than they're worth. The protection they provide is
a protection racket. You need to have a million dollars on hand to pay
your lawyers for enforcement through the courts, and you're not likely
to get satisfaction no matter what the judge decides.
For a cottage industry, there's no point in doing anything about the
counterfeiters. Consider it flattery and move on to designing your next
project.
