UPDATE: Various sources from the links below have found out that the controversial Sell Through Tool hasn’t been banned, but eBay has stopped Scott Samuel from marketing the tool. There must be an investigation underway at eBay to determine if the tool is “ethical” enough to be used to manipulate eBay search results.
The controversial Sell Through Tool offered by Scott Samuel and Ethical Technologies has been shut down by eBay. The tool (the actual too, not Scott) no longer appears on the EthicalTools.com web site, and neither does the “eBay Developer” logo that appeared on the site.
Maybe Scott was using that logo against the eBay license, who knows?
The PeSA group (formerly “The eBay Elite”, dictated by “jayandmarie” Jay Senese) use this tool and others from EthicalTools.com, but eBay says that the Sell Through Tool “violates the spirit of its search manipulation rules. “.
