$6 is a lot for a sticker but eBay but they don't kick off
sellers just because they're selling overpriced stuff that
you can get for free elsewhere.

Maybe this guy did grab the graphics for his stickers off
the web but even if he did I don't think the guy who copied
graphics from the original meter to his website can claim
ownership of the meter graphics.  I mean there are lots of
guys selling CD's filled with BAMA manuals etc. and I don't
think E-bay would take down a seller just because the guy
who scanned in a manual complained.  They probably would
if the manufacturer/publisher who did own the copyright
complained.

Maybe he was selling other "downloaded from the web" items
that really stepped over the line.
