Not sure when this took place, but teacher's editions of homeschool books are no longer permitted to be sold on ebay:

Teacher’s editions of textbooks and solutions manuals that are intended solely for use by teachers are not permitted by eBay.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation
  • Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
  • Limits on account privileges
  • Account suspension

Some examples:

Items that are prohibited:

  • Solutions manuals for teachers, teacher(s) manuals, instructor manuals are prohibited
  • A hardcopy of a teacher’s edition of a math book
  • A PDF, TIF version of a teacher’s edition of a textbook
  • An eBook version of a Teacher’s manual on a CD-R

Items that are allowed:

  • Solutions manuals for students
Additional Information
Teacher’s Edition textbooks are often clearly labeled as such but if you have any doubts, you should avoid selling the item on eBay. Teacher’s Edition textbooks often have special answer keys, exams, teaching tips, and guides to be solely utilized by the instructors of those courses.
Why does eBay have this policy?
Teachers editions are intended for teacher’s use and eBay believes in limiting the resale of those items as we are not equipped to verify if the buyer is a teacher or not.
Well, you know those kindergarteners...they are prone to cheating out of teacher's editions, especially when they can't read....emoticon
And lest anyone think that this doesn't apply to homeschoolers, it most certainly DOES.
So what is a homeschooler with curriculum to buy/sell to do? I'm not a Vegsource fan...I can never find anything on there since the site isn't searchable, and they ban too many IP addresses. So what else can I do?

From the owner:
A few years ago I started a successful business on eBay buying and selling used homeschool curriculum. I achieved PowerSeller status and maintained a 100% positive feedback rating. In March of 2006, I received several notices from eBay saying they had removed listings due to their policy on Teacher Editions. I thought it was a mistake - after all, I had been selling teacher editions like crazy for years! It was no mistake. eBay and others, such as Amazon, have decided to ban anything resembling a teacher book because "teacher books are meant for use by teachers only." Having homeschooled my children for a decade, I tend to think of myself as a teacher! But eBay doesn't. So I had to find another avenue to sell my books. Not wanting to get mixed up in another huge mess, I decided not to begin again on another big-name website. So here I am - just me, This Little Piggy, and anyone else who wants to join me and make this a positive and affordable online community for buying and selling used homeschool curriculum. Thanks for visiting!

It seems to be active with listings already, and I figure the more people who know about it and participate, the better! Go on over and check it out! And when it comes to buying/selling homeschool curriculum, just say no to ebay! emoticon
