pull the auction?..."YES.THEY DO!"


This has been covered several times.

eBay *does* allow the sale of pre-ban scanners which *can* be modified to
receive cellular frequencies.

eBay *does not* allow the sale of such scanners which are advertised as
modified, cellular capable, full 800Mhz, open, receives cell phones,
modifiable, or any similar verbiage.

They have also been known to pull auctions where "YES IT DOES", "if you know
this scanner, you know what it can do", "one of the good ones", etc.

Ditto for items including photos which show a cellular frequency being
displayed. (I always thought this was a very clever way of getting the point
across, BTW.)

If you want to sell a pre-ban scanner on eBay, simply list the model number and
the date code. Those who will bid highest are familar with the date codes and
know which scanners are modifiable, based on the combination of model number
and date code.

Do not make ANY reference to the scanner being modified or modifiable. Do not
make ANY reference to cell phones, cellular, or cellular-capable. Do not
reference ANY frequency range other than that provided by the manufacturer
(with the required cell gaps.)

This will allow you to sell your scanner without incurring problems from the
eBay police.
