[snip rest of canned response]
What the hell is up with eBay? This doesn't sound like them. There
was an auction that I bid on that was a pirated copy of a movie, but
it didn't "sound" like it was pirated in item's description; though
it didn't deny it either -- I think eBay was tipped off by another
bidder & eBay didn't hesitate to can the auction... I wonder by
what criteria that they choose to can one auction & not another; then
they claim not to be "in a position to make judgments"; no body
in their right mine would say "Pirated CD/Movie for sale".
Hmm... interesting stance that eBay is taking; hiding behind vague
legalized statements.
