Hi Jerome
 I also wrote eBay. There is nothing in eBay rules about having
these kind of items for sale but eBay does require that they
keep them in the correct category. These kind of offers are
required to stay in the services/information category and not
in other categories. While the offer they had may be completely
legitimate, it was inappropriate to put the sale in other groups.
I suspect that eBay moved them to the other group. If in the
future, others on classiccmp_at_classiccmp.org see inappropriate
items, they can report it to eBay at:

 http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ReportInfringing

 They will generally get to it. Like any business, they
don't like to be taken advantage of any more than anyone else.
