htaccess -
code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ www.domain.com/blockedimage.png [NC,R,L]
Edit - IIRC the cPanel functions just generates rewrite rules anyway.

I can do it through cPanel as Brett points out, but the problem I now face is that I essentially want to block any sites except eBay from linking to images (as I've got an eBay shop set up).
I say it's a problem but not in a technical sense - I need to find out if there's a list of eBay domains/subdomains that I could copy and paste as the hotlink protection doesn't allow wildcard domains as far as I can see (i.e. I tried it and it didn't work).

I suspect they'll be *.ebay.* based, so just wildcard it.
For wildcard, iirc, replace -
code:
(www\.)?
with
code:
([^.]+)\.
And if you need to do wildcard on the TLD, you should be able to use -
code:
domain\.(.*) or domain.*
* Been a while since i've written rewrite rules so apologies if some of it is incorrect 
Edit - Something like
code:
^http(s)?://([^.]+)\.ebay\.(com|co.uk|net|org)
Although if it won't match if there isn't a subdomain (www or other).
