Of course not. They're not responsible for it.

I was once told by e-Bay that they would take action (what kind of action, I
do not know) against those who posted advertisements to non-commercial
newsgroups. That was a couple of years ago, though, so I do not know if
they still do. There's no harm in trying--though any complaints must be
filed on-line, not via e-mail.

I'm not sure what FA means. Haven't yet figured it out.

Report this fool and crap like this might stop. I think Prodigy and ebay
might pull his account. If enough people complain.

How many people currently have products for sale on e-bay? Think about
what this (or any non-commercial) newsgroup would be like if even a small
percentage of those folks decided to advertise their wares here. We
don't like it, we don want it, and it's rude (and against most ISP's
policies as well). Find other less-intrusive ways of advertising your
products.

You may, but unfortunately many "I didn't know" people DO know and did
it anyway.
As for "mean" and "freak out", no one has shown up at your doorstep and
broken your knees. Hence my love of USENET.
If you stick around and post helpful or interesting posts, or even just
inoffensive ones, you actually will be forgiven.

ObFood (and here JP is one great hint...on OT posts, do put in a
"obligatory food reference"....I often put a little tale in that
wouldn't make a post of its own, but nontheless is foodie): Thai peanut
sauce, thinned with water and sweetened with honey makes incredible
dressing for a mesclun and tomato salad. Make it medium hot only.

Seems if you attempt to have their ip provider take action they go away
with apologies.

IIR, they say something like you can't post it to a newsgroup that
wouldn't be appropriate for the item -- in this case a Mouli shredded
DOES apply to cooking.

I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

FA stands for "For Auction".

It was, at least at one time, against eBay policies to post links
in non-commercial/forsale Usenet groups. I don't know if they
do/did enforce it.

Report them to eBay and see if the auction ends early.

Yes, report them. Be authoritarian.
