Just had this happen to a friend and she sent me a copy of the email.
Dear "blank"
Thank you for your recent auction-style listing. You listed the following item:
Literature 7th Grade SE/TE
Unfortunately, eBay removed your auction-style listing. All fees related to this listing have been credited to your account. We also notified members who placed bids on the item that the listing has been canceled.
The listing was removed because it violated the eBay Teacher's Edition policy. The sale of this item may also be prohibited by law.
Teacher's editions of textbooks and solutions manuals that are intended solely for use by teachers are not permitted by eBay. Teacher's Edition textbooks are often clearly labeled as such but if you have any doubts, you should avoid selling the item on eBay. Teacher's Edition textbooks often have special answer keys, exams, teaching tips, and guides to be solely utilized by the instructors of those courses.

That's the part that I picked up on too. I'd think used clothing makes up a good deal of what's for sale on Ebay. So, I don't really understand that at all. In fact I've got a friend who's a big ebayer and she has definately bought and sold used clothing on there many, many times.
