Cindy Sheehan Fails to Clear Shark

The Cindy Sheehan speaking engagement that was put up for auction on eBay has been cancelled for violating listing policies.  According to eBay:

Item Number - 6034322259
Item Title - Speaking Engagement with Cindy Sheehan

has been removed by eBay for violating of one or more of our policies. Any offers or bids placed on this auction-style listing are now null and void. Because the auction was ended early, you as a bidder are not
required to complete the transaction. Since this is a listing violation, the seller is free to relist the item in the proper format. Should you wish to do so, you are free to bid on the item again if it is relisted.

Please review eBay's Listing Policies and User Agreement at the following locations:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/policies.html

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/user-agreement.html

Before it was yanked, the bidding had gotten up to $1,275 and was scheduled to end tomorrow night.  It's not clear to me what policy was violated - the "item" doesn't seem to fall on the list of specifically proscribed items:

• Items that are illegal or that encourage illegal activity.
• Items that are racially or ethnically inappropriate. For policy and examples, see Offensive Material Policy.
• Listings that do not offer an item or service for sale. For policy and examples, see Listing No Item.
• Services that are illegal, sexual in nature or that violate eBay’s User Agreement.  For policy and examples, see Prohibited Services.
• Listings that promote giveaways, random drawings, raffles, or prizes. For policy and examples, see Bonus, Prize, Giveaway and Raffle Policy.

Maybe it qualified as "offensive material".
