Copyright infringement is a seperate issue. If someone is selling CDs they burned themselves, it should be obvious from just looking at the auction. The same goes for banned items. Would you have Ebay actually send somebody to Ohio to look at the plane and the logs? It's been a couple years since I sold a complete vehicle, but if I remember correctly the total cost was a flat rate of only about $80.00 (1/2 to list and the rest when it sells). The seller, who has a feedback rating of 1962 with 99.7% positive is claiming that nothing is wrong and is inviting people to come take a look. I suspect that ebay has contacted him and that they believe him. The best way to prevent scams like this is to have a searchable database of insurance losses, much like NTSB's for crashes. Another might be to pull the airworthiness cert for planes declared a total loss, but that would make it tougher on someone who wants to rebuild one. If someone had a web page that came up when the N# was searched online and showed the damage, I doubt it would sell.
