Natalie Dylan - Virginity
Last January, Natalie Dylan, a 22-year-old college student from San Diego, was booted off eBay after she tried to auction off her virginity on the site. She has since hosted the auction on the Web site of a Nevada brothel. As of February 6th, the highest reported bid was $3.7 million.
Apex A-600 DVD Player - hidden ability to deactivate Macrovision's copy-protection feature; removed at Macrovision's request
In eBay's early days, lots of folks tried to sell the Apex A-600 DVD player, which had the hidden ability to deactivate Macrovision's copy-protection feature. After some calls from Macrovision headquarters, eBay took the auction down.
Dante Knoxx (musician) - his soul
This past December, UK musician Dante Knoxx failed in his attempt to sell his very soul on eBay. We think that's probably in his music career's best interest, truthfully. Judging from this guy's looks, he doesn't have much soul to spare.
Man Tries to Sell Kidney
The Ur of all banned eBay auctions is the case of an anonymous man who tried to sell his kidney back in 1999. The auction lead to a raging debate about privilege, health and ethics (and a highest bid of $5.7 million) before it was removed from the site.
Kevin Mitnick (Hacker) - Prison Commissary Card
Back in 2000, convicted hacker Kevin Mitnick used eBay to auction off the commissary card he carried during his stay in a Federal prison. After two days, eBay yanked the item, citing their opposition to selling government IDs.

Woman Selling 4- and 8-year-old kids
In 2007, a 31-year-old mother of two in Benton, Illinois posted an eBay listing, trying to sell her children. While eBay promptly canceled the auction, Benton police found the children to be safe and sound, leaving them in the custody of their still-unidentified mother.
eBay Lottery
Possibly the most ingenuous of all banned eBay auctions was the one held by an anonymous entrepreneur in 2006. Selling 10,000 "tickets," for $2.50 a piece, he promised to give half of the auction's total take to the person with the winning ticket. Apparently no gambling men among them, the folks at eBay took it down.
Mummy
In 2006, 45-year-old Lynn Sterling put a mummified human skeleton up for auction on eBay. The folks at eBay quickly kicked this sale to the curb, though not before a user named Satan's Child placed a bid of $500.

Man Tries to Ditch Cheating Wife on eBay
Last May, more than a little perturbed by his wife's behavior, Paul Osborn took his temper to eBay, where he offered to sell the "adulterous, lying, cheating, bitch, whore" Sharon to the highest bidder. As you might imagine, that auction didn't last too long.
Man Attempts to eBay Himself
In 2007, Michael Hault -- a student at England's prestigious Cambridge University -- went on eBay to sell himself. That's right. Himself. Brilliantly, in defense of eBay's removal of the auction, a company spokeswoman said, "He needs to be clearer what the buyer could expect."

Why is this woman filing for divorce? Her marriage should automatically been annulled upon the conviction of that creep. Plus, he should have gotten life without parole for his online stalking.

I was married to a pedophile. He walked out on me and our 4 young children, the youngest having Down's Syndrome and severe heart defects that took her life at 6 years. He had raped the 6 year old girl next door to us and it didn't come out until the girl was 15 and finally told someone! He was tried and found guilty and given PROBATION and a year later he pulled some strings and had it dropped and removed from his record. Sad part is, AFTER the rape trial I had a flashback of the very day he raped the child. What I recalled of that day perfectly matched what she had told the authorities. And HE walks FREE! I applaud this grand lady for turning her husband in to the authorities!! God bless her!

Nyote kusoma hii ni perverts na deviants. Nyote, bila kubagua wagonjwa katika akili yako. Miili yenu stink wa upotoshaji. Wewe ni reprehensible.

That is where parents need to keep the computer in the family room so a parent can supervise thier children and have a second computer networking to the family computer so the parent can get E-mails from the internet service prievider they are on so that they can e-mail the parent if a child goes in a area where they are not suppose to be in and this is another reason that we need to get AOL's CL program up and running because not all children are being supervised by thier parents on the computer for a virioty of reasons they need a CL program not only on AOL but on those other internet servioce providers.

Are you that ignorant?

Yve, Hahahahaha You sound like a washed up old woman. I dont care that you dont like my opinion. I actually find it funny that you get riled up by these stupid comment boards "lol". I think mine and many other grandmothers DO look good but thats because they take pride in their apperance and do simple things like wear a bra for a news photo. Unfortunately for you my first thoughts are not All stupid as I do have a masters degree (probably more educated than you are), though, some are stupid and Im not afraid to admit it. I feel NO shame lol. I think you forgot about the end of my comment, "dont let anyone on this message board get you down"

This is a disgusting story. Props to his wife for not hesitating to turn him in and reveal what a creepy low life he is.

The truth is - it's NOT a sickness or a life-style choice - it's a CRIME!!!!!

At their age, living on fixed incomes, she probably did it specifically because he was costing too much money o the internet over porn, &/or pissing money way chasing young girls, & she knew she could live better without him at that point in their lives. Because she doesn't lose anything financially by getting rid of him at their age. But she most probably would not have done the same thing if they were still of working age, & she actually would have lost something by reporting him & divorcing him. Plus, by having something like that to report him for,...she has more protection against retalliation from him as her disgruntled divorced husband, if the law is on her side about "what a bad, bad man he is!!".
Put it this way,...does anyone think he just started "troling for teens", or is it obvious that he's been doing it for all those years, but suddenly she decided "enough is enough, & she doesn't have enough while he's using what they have trying to entice teens.
I wish I could say, wow she's a real super hero, but I think she's just doing the math & when ya' gotta go, ya' gotta go. If he's not gonna drop dead, she'll just have him hauled away in handcuffs.

That woman is disgusting!! Bitch.

This guy is a PEDERAST, not a pedophile. He does not "love" children, he molests them.

Anybody who tries to sexually exploits a child [boy or girl] under the age 18, should go to jail. I hope this guy gets a cell mate named bubba

I has nothing to do with how his wife looks, i.e., I have a drop-dead-gorgeous friend whose husband left her for a very plain, boyish looking woman who is extremely thin with a manish haircut.
