      It amazes me how they manage to get away with it each time. It's not on!

      It's not Ebay selling the products though , anyone can list anything for sale, Ebay don't have the staff to check all new listings, they rely on others hitting the report item button.
      Mind you they don't exactly go out of their way to correct things, but then every sale means more commision for them.

        I have had an email from 38 degrees.Ebay are employing staff to manually search for listings and the ones listed have been removed again.At least Ebay are trying to uphold their polices makes a change.

        Of ourse eBay could, if they could be bothered, go one step further, and pass on email and IP addresses and PayPal account details and whatever else they have on the person selling illegal stuff, and pass on that info to whichever agency is responsible for enforcing the ban (Defra?).
