This is a bunch of horse hockey. I'm not a home schooler, but my kid attends a private Christian school and I needed to replace an a Beka book of his, and a Beka is one of the more popular curriculums for home schoolers as well, and I found it on eBay and I just did a search on eBay after seeing this post, and there are 2,056 a Beka textbooks up for auction and 1,573 available for a set price at this very moment. And a whole bunch of them have "home school" in the listing.

I didn't read the post as close as I should have. It was talking about teachers books. FYI, at this moment there are 53 a Beka teachers books up for auction and 7 for set price.
I would be prepared to wager that this person's auctions were probably pulled for another reason than home schooling.

Additionally, eBay has just recently made the decision to prohibit the sale of Teacher's Editions of textbooks and solutions manuals that are intended solely for use by teachers. The policy refers to teacher's editions of textbooks.

It's the teacher's editions and solution manuals they've prohibited.

World Nut is trying to create a controversy. I understand Ebay's policy on teacher's editions. Homeschoolers can start their own buy/sell/trade forum or use another auction site.
