Why would eBay cancel this auction for "Time Magazine" about the WTC?

[Dood]

eBay WTC search

There are several TIME MAGAZINE WORLD TRADE CENTER listings and all have been cancelled...presumably by eBay. Why? Some say "sold out" which is probably not true....maybe that's the reason?

because ebay doesn't want ANYTHING to be sold with the WTC on it, including mags. This is what the said last week and they are sticking with this new policy.

because not all of us are profiteering bastards trying to make a buck at 5000 people's expense. Ebay has come out to say that any WTC related item will be cancelled. Its good of them.

People shouldnt be making money off a tragic event like thatr

why would people buy that? The magazines about disasters and stuff are the LEAST valuable.

Heh, he cancelled all the bids and ended the $30,000 auction early.

Thanks. Besides being tasteless, it is considered "related to a crime" which is prohibited according to the policy link.

A lot of people say they would send the winning bid amount to charity. But I am sure a lot would pocket the cash. I guess thats why they came out with the auction for America thing.
