As a long time eBay member, I reported two of the Steve Jobs Figure auctions as being in violation of eBay Infringement policies. It's not in eBay's best interest to allow counterfeit or unlicensed items to be auctioned. Other members likely filed complaints as well. The following is the content of eBay's email to me:
We will review the listing(s) you have reported for violations of our
Potentially Infringing Items policies. In order to keep eBay a safe and
fun place to trade, we often rely on members like you to bring such

Account suspensions are usually reserved for those sellers that
repeatedly disregard policy.
If the item you reported does not appear on its face to be infringing,
we may refer it to the intellectual property rights owner for review. If
the rights owner has a good faith belief that the item is infringing,
they may choose to send eBay a formal request to remove the listing. For

People like you make the world and eBay worse day after day. This kind of ass licking is unbelievable. And copy/pasting a canned response shows a lot about you.
Dude thats kind of a jerk off thing to do no offense \
... and someone reported it, I suppose you'd call him a jerkoff, too, eh?
It amazes me how some folks think that it's okay to violate other people's basic rights just because they're "famous" or wealthy or successful or well loved or much hated or whatever and have the audacity to label someone's action "jerk off" when they call out someone else's crime (yeah, it's technically a crime).
Dude, I hope you never have to deal with cracking down on people illegally trying to cash in on your life's work while the unwashed masses - who have no clue - stand around calling people names for trying to defend your rights. No offense.
... Health care not in the Constitution and a congressman says he doesn't care about the Constitution. ...
First of all, he said he doesn't, "worry about the Constitution." Otherwise, this is just another example of the right wing propaganda machine gone wild.
Secondly, there are plenty of things that are not specifically in the Constitution. For example, the Constitution doesn't say that murder or rape should be illegal. According to your logic and argument, laws against murder and rape are unconstitutional. Now, is that a society you want to live in, or are you ready to admit that a strict and literal interpretation of the Constitution as the guide to what can, and only what can, be done is absurd?

Laugh a little Steve. The man is becoming unbearable. I want the 1998 Steve back!
I'd prefer 1978 Steve.

Dude thats kind of a jerk off thing to do no offense
This may be Steve's Tom-Cruise-on-the-couch moment if he isn't careful;
stock dives, Jobs bobble head figures appear in car windows.
He can't drive anywhere without seeing these ridiculous things in the
car in front of him...
I wonder if they could do anything if you took the figure as is and
replaced the head with an apple that has a bite taken out of it?
Now that would be a good bobble head figure..
this great acuity of marketplace sensitivity deserving high merit; senior VP of iMedia Control.
Summoned forthwith to Cupertino to appear before the great and powerful,
cringe and scrape ye before the iPresence.
Instead two weeks later a letter comes with a coupon for five free iTunes downloads.
The note just says "Thanks!" and at the bottom it's that well-known email address
instead of a signature.

PROBLEM SOLVED.
So what now, selling celebrity autographed items on eBay is now also illegal due to a 'celebrity's right of publicity'?
Sad that Apple is now the new Microsoft.

He just made the mini-Steve A LOT more valuable though.

It was said that the object "violates a celebrity's right of publicity."
Translated: "We're not amused because we didn't get royalties from it."
