well i dont think u can sell anything on ebay. i found this out when i tried to sell some footage i shot of celebrities getting their stars on the walk of fame on hollywood blvd. these are public events and no restrictions on photography or videotaping. so i put a dvd containing several of these ceremonies up for auction. the item was removed by ebay! they claimed i was selling copyrighted material. i tried to explain that it was my own footage and no different from people selling celebrity photos but they didnt agree and refused to list this item. yet it is ok to list videotape episodes of copyrighted dark shadows episodes!
