Extraordinary!

Probably tells you to go to an auction for bankrupt stock.

About as useful as "Send £10 for How to be Rich" and the answer is "Place
adverts saying Send £10 for How to be Rich"

Do Ebay have a policy on these sorts of auctions?

Not too sure about that he's mentioned the usual *educational purposes*
etc... I had to laugh at the 99p price and then *Please if paying by Pay Pal
please could you add an EXTRA £1 if you dont do this i will chase you up for
it and it will just make the transaction even longer!!! *

I use Paypal myself but I've known them to charge 101% :-/

Definately a SCAM just off the payment instructions alone,However
remembering Sky is a Scam it's pretty obvious the user of the system will
try similar tactics to get free cash ala Murdoch.

Ebay have only one policy: charge for everything and accept no
liability under any circumstances.

What do you mean exactly by "unlocking" a Sky digibox? Is it just how to

access the service menu?

--------------------

basically it get yuou the free movie channels and sport instead of having

to pay for them

--------------------

So obviously total bo**ock*!
