ebay and amazon cant police all their auctions. They depend on end users
to report violations. ebay auctions off vast quantities of pirated (and
sometimes stolen) merchandise. pirates selling fansub tapes and cd-r
anime mp3 cds for profit on ebay etc.

Sometimes they get their auctions shut down, but not often enough.
