Yesterday, I noticed one of the BA Bloggers, Angelina Travels, posted this:

http://angelinatravels.boardingarea....ing-ebay-buck/

It was suspiciously worded like my post, we both referred to the writing of the eBay ad as "copy" for one. I contacted her and she apologized, offered to delete the article if that's what I wanted and then immediately gave me the hat tip credit with link that I asked for in the alternative. Sad that it happened, but glad it was handled right.
Not totally clear what your exact issue was. Are you saying this post content of yours...

The guy really has a talent for writing copy, I'll give him or her that.
...was plagiarized here in the blog post?

...I must say that I give this seller credit for creating some persuasive copy in the item's description and coming up with a unique way to "recycle" a hotel key from a past stay...
Or you were just concerned over the blogger not attributing where she presumably found out about the story?
