OK, so when did it become wrong to list Teacher's Editions for a textbook on eBay. I thought sure that I had done it in the past. It was for a 10 year old Scott Foresman Science book for Grade 2. I was told that it violated some eBay rule. Has anyone had this happen before??

Yes. Teacher's handbooks are now not allowed...which doesn't seem right for all the homeschoolers out there.
I know they were screaming about it, but I don't know if Ebay changed it to allow for them now or not.
It doesn't sound like it.

Yes, I think it is very unfair....and even stupid. This is part of what the email from eBay said.....
The sale of Teacher's Editions of textbooks and solutions manuals that are intended solely for use by teachers are not permitted on eBay. Because eBay is unable to verify whether someone is authorized to buy a Teacher's Edition, we are unable to accept listings for these items.
Teacher's Edition textbooks contain answer keys, exams, teaching tips, and guides for instructors, and are often clearly labeled as such. However, if you have any doubt, don't list the item on eBay.

I had some home schooling books that were teachers editions. Ebay pulled them. That was about 2 years ago.
