Yes, a lot of consumer protection laws forbid advertising a "sale" price unless there is an actual reduction. Some require that the "original price" quoted be the actual price within a defined period, e.g. within the last 90 days. eBay may also have it's own rules.
In the case of this item, I assume that most people on the list aren't deciding whether to buy based on the word "sale"!
