> Ebay is not the police.
True, but they have a policy:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/electronics.html
> CB amplifiers
> The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
> does not permit the use of power amplifiers
> with Citizens Band radios. Therefore, eBay
> prohibits any listings of the following:
>
> o CB amplifiers
> o Amplifiers specified for use on the 11
> Meter band
> o Amplifiers designed for use in frequencies
> 24 MHz to 35MHz
> o Amplifiers posted within the CB category
Riley H at FCC responded to my email to say that in
his experience, eBay was fairly responsive to reports
of CB amps.
That said, it would seem to me that if eBay REALLY
wanted to stop this, they could easily write
software to detect several different words in the ad
that would trigger a "look see". However, perhaps
they prefer to have users report the violations so
that they can appear above the fray. Or something
like that.
Anyway, I'll pursue this for a while and see what
happens.
