eBay missile vendor runs afoul of use terms

Online auctioneer eBay pulled the ad of a British man who was trying to sell a deactivated Soviet-era missile and launcher on the web site.

It didn’t do so because selling such stuff is improper — demilitarized weapons are considered “museum pieces” and are legitimate for sale — but because the seller violated eBay’s “terms of use” by offering the missile and the launcher on the same page.
