I found out that I was not alone. Many others who sells linux and other software from FSF, GNU or GPL are suspended, banned or otherwise by Ebay.
Here is one case dated back to 2003:

There is even a forums for ebay suspended users:

I think the whole idea why free software does not take off is because there are organization like Ebay which still probably lives in a well or something.
