I would think so Brett but, you have to admire their cheek in doing what they have done. I wonder how long it will be before someone from Ebay sees it.

I have seen quite few "ebY" mugs before and they wasnt delated. So maybe ebay treat that as a knd of promotion???

I concur with Paul, this might well be seen as free marketing on several levels.

I have never figure out why some do get done and some are never touched. It must be luck of the draw.

eBay mugs have been listed a number of times, never once have i seen them removed. Like Paul said maybe they don't mind as its some sort of advertising for them. Plus they do make money on the final value fee :P.

Anyone ever remember the Mr Bang tidy mug last year?
