Since the his eBay site does not contain a notice, that it (the site) may be distributed under the terms of the GPL, the _website_ is obviously not free. But that has nothing to do with any products offered at that homepage. And as long as a product contains the notice that it's GPLed, everything is in order. Please, do not judge on what you might want or would like to see. For legal proceedings facts matter and not wishes. Most people would wish that this guy would do something illegal. But the offer alone does not look like it would conflict with the GPL. He may breach ebay rules, they are a completely different matter. And maybe his offer may be considered fraud because of misleading screenshots and the like. Contacting ebay seems to be the best route to go.
