    Ebay denied the charges in a public statement, saying it has blocked "more than 99.9% the listings for the products cited by the DOJ, including millions of listings each year."

    A court will determine if that claim is true, but if yes, EBay as a market platform won't be liable. A 99.9% interception rate would indicate a considerable effort to prevent illicit trades.

      It is true. You will have your listing removed if you try to list something as an emissions defeat device. If you try a second time then your account will be banned.

      I listed a carb exempt factory performance ecu made by the vehicle manufacturer and it was removed for going against the tos.

      Although they do allow universal ecus like mega squirt. I could see performance programmers sneaking through if they avoid specific language. eBay can't know the specifics of every single item that gets listed.
