eBay cancels corn flake auction

Two sisters from Virginia who are selling a corn flake shaped like the state of Illinois on eBay say the online auction Web site canceled their listing. But through a nifty maneuver, the Land of Lincoln flake remains available. Melissa McIntire of Chesapeake, Virginia says the listing for the Illinois corn flake was pulled because it violated the eBay Food policy. McIntire says she doesn't know how the policy was violated

McIntire and her sister, Emily, have relisted the flake on eBay, but this time they're auctioning a coupon redeemable for their corn flake, instead of the cereal itself. » Article here
