Its a good thing actually...eBay banned firearms and a new site opened that does firearms auctions. They ban school books, a new site will open that allows it. eBay will regulate themselves out of a monopoly and thats to the good. It gives other auction site competitors a chance to grow and have people get familiar with them.
I don't know why eBay wants to limit its sellers constantly, but its not going to turn out bad for the online auction industry as a whole..just eBay.

It would be great if the HSLDA created its own home school book auction web site, not just to sell the teacher books but also the student books. Let eBay pound sand, and let HSLDA get a bit more financial muscle.

My thoughts exactly. I can even imagine a mass marketing e-mail sent out with the simple subject line "Screwed by eBay? Here's an alternative!"

Yep. E-Bay has gone down hill, and their moment has passed. E-Bay really does have a lot of problem's in general, in addition to making stupid corporate decisions like this one against homeschoolers. Let's see - fraud, stolen goods, etc.
