I think that was me.
The following is taken from "Listing Policies"
(http://pages.ebay.com/aw/help/topics-png-list.html),
an interpretation of the eBay User Agreement
(http://pages.ebay.com/aw/user-agreement.html).

---begin excerpt---
Listing Techniques that circumvent eBay's fee structure
Users may not use systems or techniques to interfere with
the proper working of the eBay site, which includes the
circumvention of the eBay fees. Some examples include:
- Auctions with low bid prices, but unreasonably high
shipping costs
- Dutch Avoidance (see description below)
- Selling an item that requires an additional purchase
from the seller
- Items offered for direct sale
- Catalog sales (see description below)
- Auctions with an e-mail address or domain name in the
title
Policy: These types of auctions are not permitted and will
be ended. The listing fee will be automatically credited for
that auction.
...
Repeat offenses
If a seller repeatedly lists items that violate the policies
described above, that seller is subject to suspension from
eBay.
