Counterfeit currency they prohibit, sure. Copyrighted items where you don't have the right to transfer, sure that's prohibited.

Now if you are asking about the ability to use PayPal to pay for a bitcoin sold thorugh eBay, that's an entirely different issue.
Also, eBay is almost exclusively run on PayPal now. Are BTC sellers just risking it for the sake of the price gouging opportunity?

Paypal just bent me over
