Parma Endorion being fraudulently sold on eBay

Mods. Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I'm running behind on time.

Today I learned that someone has been selling copies of Parma Endorion: Essays on Middle-earth, 3rd Edition on eBay. I've notified eBay of the fraud and hope they will remove the current auction. But I think the best defense against this kind of fraud is to keep as many people informed as possible.

If you know anyone who would like to buy a copy of the eBook, please be sure to tell them it's available as a free download from free-ebooks.net.

No one should be paying for the book. And considering that those of us who worked on it are not being compensated by the seller, no one should be buying it from THAT person.

This is the exact kind of person I don't buy from on ebay. Sure, he's selling free e-books, and keyrings now, but it's probably only to up his rating, so that he looks reputable when he's trying to sell that "ferrari".
