I hope this is not too far off topic, but i feel this is a very 
progressive list and I was disappointed to here of this action by ebay.
This is an excerpt of a forward sent by a reputable ebay seller from whom 
I've purchased albums.
I ask everyone on this list to please express your feelings on this 
matter to ebay directly.

>Quite a few of you have emailed me to ask why my account comes up "NOT A 
>REGISTERED USER".  The reason why I am not on eBay is due to the fact that 
>eBay temporarily suspended my account.  The reason this occurred is because 
>many of the music items that I was selling were listed as promotional.  A 
>certain large record company reported a few of my items as violating 
>copyright of their company (VeRO violation: selling promos) and I was 
>temporarily suspended.  Many more companies will soon adopt this practice and 
>you will start seeing less and less new promotional music on eBay.  I know 
>many of you collect the DJ only promotional releases or need to get a hold of 
>these releases for your DJing gigs.  I wanted to bring this 'new trend' from 
>the record companies to your attention.
