Nonsense. eBay cancelled my auction for a perfectly legal Uniden
President ten meter rig (unmodified in any way) because it was
"suspicious". Pack of idiots.

I had an Amplifier I was selling for parts only - to "build" a Ham Amp -
pulled by E-Bay. The thing had NO finals in it. I was offering it only for
the transformer and some other parts.

Strangely, I have seen many amps (CB related) - NOT pulled. Ya really have
to wonder..........

I think ebay typically only pulls auctions when some viewer takes
exception and emails them with a complaint. Often times this is a
"friend" or some do-right with nothing better to do with their time.

No doubt there are hundreds, if not thousands of all kinds of items that
have legality issues. Surely there cannot be someone at ebay that has
global knowledge of these infractions. They have to rely on the
do-rights to bring things to their attention.
