For us, the fees we pay to HQ actually are more like a rental. Our badge actually doesn't belong to us, even though we are in posession of it, it actually belongs to the sorority.

What you just said is great and all, but I really think some of you are missing the point.
This individual is NOT selling his own badge on eBay. He's selling the badges (or pins...whatever LXA calls em) of his own organization in addition to badges belonging to other organizations.
Alpha Gamma Delta members purchase a lifetime lease to the Badge when they are initiated because the Badges are the property of the Fraternity -- to be buried with the member or returned to the Fraternity upon her death.
I'm guessing that several organizations have a similar policy.
I don't know what LXA's rules are regarding their badges. If it's a-ok for their members to re-sell them online on eBay for a quick buck -- then so be it. However, I think we should all be cautious of this LXA possibly selling property that doesn't even belong to him. I mean, look. He can't even get his descriptions correct.
He should be reported to eBay.
