Wonder if there's anyway to restrict sales of the con e-books and yet allow the original material? Sadly I suspect not :-( Have to say having been daft enough to buy e-books the charity would have been better to grin and bear it and admit a faux pas rather than have eBay clean up after them.

While most of them on eBay *are* the same old get rich quick dross, there is at least the potential that people are self-publishing original, decent material. Banning ebooks from eBay cuts off an important sales channel for these people. I also strongly disagree that the charity in this case should have had their feedback "cleaned up". No other eBay seller would have had that favour done for them - and in view of the extreme unpopularity of Fb2 amongst sellers right now, it's a bit of a kick in the teeth.
