eBay not allowing WYC merchandise, NO WAY. They are allowing WTC auctions just do a search and type in WTC. They are allowing them as long as they are listed under their Auctions for America program.
You wouldn’t believe the prices some of this stuff is fetching.

They are letting people DONATE WTC merchandise. They aren't letting people sell it. This is just plain wrong.

But WHAT is a genuine stand?
The sellers here are small potatoes compared to the rest of ebay as a whole. Even if every AW forum member moved to Yahoo, I doubt it would leave a dent on ebay.
ebay has us as long as they have the buyers! It's not that we like them -- but we do like having people to browse and buy our goods.
Until another site has a viable means of bringing in the traffic, ebay is it, sad to say.
As big as Yahoo is, I cannot believe they cannot drive more traffic to their auctions.

A genuine stand would be spreading your auctionS around to other sites.
I am/was an eBay Power Seller, with 6 years experience. Now, almost 2 years ago, I moved to Yahoo, and almost doubled my eBay sales. BUT, then Yahoo went off the deep end, and this year, we started spreading our auctions around to many, many smaller auction sites. Free sites, sites which allow our links to our web sites, etc. We have lost NOTHING in doing so, and we sell an extremely wide variety of items.
You have to spread out your auctions, on a CONSISTENT BASIS, and in time you may realize you were merely brain washed by eBay, that there are other sites (depending on what you sell) which can do as well for you as eBay, and cost you nothing or much, much less, but as long as you are deluded by the eBay mirage, you’ll never find out.
