eBay Removes Listing of Street Artist Banksy

Banksy the street artist put up a listing on eBay to sell the truth behind his identity on eBay. According to the seller, jaybuysthings, what he will be selling is just a piece of paper with the real name of Banksy written on it. Prior to the listing being removed by eBay, the highest bid stood at US$999,999. This obviously was an inflated figure.

According to eBay, the reason the listing was pulled was because it violated user polices though they were not specific about it. Those who are familiar with eBay, though, would know that we are not allowed to sell personal information or IDs.

Seriously, I don't know if anyone even cares who is behind the nickname Banksy. I don't so obviously, you wouldn't see me bidding on something like this. But Banksy's identity auction received a total of 38 bids before it was removed by eBay! Shocking!
