Dear eBay Community (sellers and bidders),

Within the last 72 hours I've twice listed President Barack Obama's African birth certificate for auction here on eBay. The auction has been canceled twice now by eBay.

The first cancelation was done in what eBay describes as being in the interests of keeping my account safe. Ebay was under the impression that a third party had accessed and compromised my account, that this third party put up the Barack Obama African Birth Certificate auction and that I had no knowledge of the said listing.

Below are copies and pastes of the three ebay alerts that I received when the first auction was pulled (President Barack Hussein Obama Kenya Birth Certificate – item # 160344374585).
