This seller was mighty clever by not obviously stating they are selling a pump. If they did it would get pulled right away.

Not that I have ANY intention of squealing on someone, BUT, is there a quick means of contacting Ebay for items that shouldn't be put up for bid? I've never used Ebay but periodically there are news stories about items that get pulled off.

There is a link to contact Ebay with restricted items but in order to get to the link you have to go through several links and to be honest that is why I don't even bother. Ebay doesn't want to be bothered so they make it difficult to turn in listings.

I'm guessing they only make a token effort to stop listings. The more listings that sell, the more money they rake in. why would they want to put a crimp in the listings, right?

They do have automatic robot programs that search through listings and alert them to ones that may not be allowed. However, nowhere in that post that is on there now does it say they are selling the pump. Only one that knows about pumps and knows how much one costs would question it. For all ebay knows, that could be a $500 remote control device.
