As eBay is all about feedback, you can guess what was the issue with this items. eBay stated „Due to a large number of misclassified items and eBay policy violations, some categories will no longer be available on eBay starting the first week of September. Starting on August 30, 2012, attempts to list items in these categories will be blocked," and continues on feedback „EBay regularly reviews categories and updates our policies based on customer feedback. We are discontinuing a small number of categories within the larger metaphysical subcategory, as buyers and sellers have told us that transactions in these categories often result in issues that can be difficult to resolve.”

Lets take one item for example, MAGICAL CANDLE DESTROYER OF ALL DARKNESS, on sale by a user cyndarion (100% feedback, guess he is a world class magician).

He describes his item as
“This magical candle has been made and prepare by Cyndarion Ainiu with a supreme level spell to destroy evil
This candle is for cases where extreme and fast purification of a space is needed by destroying negative entities, demons and evil ghosts.  
Your light the candle in the chosen space and let it work until is extinguish by itself.“
And what you are getting is “...an Wizard Enchanted Druid Demon Destroyer Candle. 5 3/4 " by 4 " size.“

So if you have any problems with demons or dark powers (not in Diablo 3 or Skyrim, but real life) this is a guy for you, find him on eBay, but hurry because it will only be available until August 30th.

[Ed - Magic, Spiritualism, Mysticism, whatever you want to call it has been around for thousands of years. People have also traded in amulets talismans, candles and other “protective” items for just as long. For eBay to ban these items but still allow for other religious items to be sold is something very unusual for an online auction house. We wonder what else they will ban next and if it will make any more sense than what they are doing here.]
