I tried to report it, but it said the auction has ended.

You know, some of us should should be paid for this service. They're not doing it!!!

Did you notice that they don't even list VIN tags on their Prohibited list??? I found Teachers Edition text books listed though. Thank God they're protecting those books!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

That is a scream. Far as I know, it is not a violation of federal law to sell a teacher's edition text book (maybe I am wrong on this, but it would surprise me). However, it is DEFINITELY a federal law violation to sell a VIN plate.

Look here for a pretty funny discussion:

I especially liked this comment: "On average, eBay policy makers have the IQ of a gnat with a frontal lobotomy. Does that help put it in perspective?"
