So, this appears to be a Joomla issue, not spawned or native to ECWID.  But, perhaps the happy marriage of Joomla and ECWID has birthed you a problem child

I'll actually be at a conference next week (Austin, Texas) with ECWID and can ask them in person.  For the now, have a look at a similar question/answer I found for you on the ECWID forums:

Hi ShariSEO,

So, I found this by heading over to Google Webmaster Tools:

• http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156442

Have look down this page and find the section that talks about, "Create high-quality thumbnail images".  I'm curious if you are able to update a new thumbnail, to replace any "auto-populated" thumbnail that Google is auto-inserting for you.

Also, you might just be missing some simple metadata, within a video sitemap, to define what Google needs (metadata), to update your thumbnail.  Are you using metadata for your videos?

• http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=80472

Lastly, Danny Dover mentions Thumbnails in this video, around the 7:34 mark, but you might want to listen to the entire video, because he gives some nice tips, regarding video embedding and how to tell YouTube to act upon the sitemap and metadata.
