From the Media Stock Blog, eBay will no longer list DirecTV P4 cards because there are no lawful uses for such cards and because:
EBay does not permit the sale of items that have the sole purpose of facilitating access to cable or satellite television programming without authorization or payment. Stating that the item is for educational or test purposes will not legitimize a product that is otherwise inappropriate. MSB lauds the action, but notes:
Despite its policies, Ebay still serves as a platform for buying and selling illicit and counterfeit items, such as this analog cable descrambler. In fact, many of the cable descrambler sold on Ebay come with laughable disclaimers similar to this one:
THIS UNIT IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR CABLE PROVIDER BEFORE USING.
