Not true!!! The major reason why I put up that post about ebay in the first place was the fact that they allowed an alumni directory of my fraternity to be sold on their site. Their policies explicitly forbid items to be sold which include personal contact information, etc. The directory was the 2001 edition just published this fall! I reported it both to ebay and to SAE HQ. I don't think that HQ had enough time to do anything about it since the auction only lasted a week to begin with. Ebay not only didn't do jack about an auction that CLEARLY violated their OWN policies, they DIDN'T EVEN RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINT!!! I'm STILL waiting to hear from them about it! Bottom line: just because it happens, doesn't make it legal!
