ebay has CHOSEN to ignore this. we have discussed on MOPO many times that in the poster categories there are tee-shirts, coffee mugs, reproductions, etc. some members have contacted ebay, but to no avail in getting the items removed. of course there is frustration when you search for orig., american posters and see tons and tons of foreign or reproductions....... a gross example of this is a seller that has just listed hundreds of foreign one sheets in the USA category: _http://cgi.ebay.com/STREET-NO-NAME-93-STEVENS-MOVIE-POSTER1948-/140537100405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b8a9f875_ (http://cgi.ebay.com/STREET-NO-NAME-93-STEVENS-MOVIE-POSTER1948-/140537100405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=i tem20b8a9f875) an occasional deviation is okay such as selling an auction book, an old banner, or a great original collectible from a film WITH A CLEAR REFERENCE IN HTE TITLE OF WHAT THE ITEM IS, but when miscategorization becomes widespread, then it is wrong. what about tons of lobby cards in the poster category. i recall just last week excited to see a buy-it-now for a poster i wanted with a good price, and then when i opened the page, i saw that it was the title card and not the half sheet. !!! michael In a message dated 4/19/2011 2:48:05 A.M.

I just looked through a lot of listings on EBAY for new Fixed Price listings for "movie memorabilia-posters-original US" and almost all of them were foreign posters from Europe in French, German, Italian, etc. What gives? I thought EBAY had strict listing violation rules on proper categories now. You'd think their high-powered website technology would be able to deal with this problem.
