    What do you mean exactly by "design"? He cloned the way your sites look and just changed the content?
    If that's what, I'm sorry but I don't think there's any thing you can do about it...

      Hes not changed the content just clone after clone. And when you buy my design you can only use it once.

    Send a DMCA to Flippa using the Report button on the listing to do so. They will remove the auction and probably suspend the seller. I've done it numerous times.

    Sorry to hear that, I've heard it happen before but merely sending an email threatening legal action is usually enough

    Send a DMCA notification to his host. Get him banned from Flippa, too, but your first port of call should always be taking all his sites down.
