Rumor: MP Megatron Returns to eBay

Two weeks ago we reported here about eBay’s cancellation of the MP Megatron auctions. This was a huge blow on Transformers fans, who have waited years for a realistic Megatron/gun figure.
Seibertron.com has now received new information which indicates that Masterpiece Megatron may be returning to eBay, but with some changes. Seibertron.com member, Skywarp-2, has provided us with leads from an inside source at eBay. According to an eBay representative, MP Megatron was pulled from the online auctions because of a violation to their rules.
“Though the sale of MP Megatron does not in any way violate eBay policies, the exclusion of the orange tip and foreign sales of this toy do violate their rules and regulations…as well as cause complications with the U.S. laws.” – eBay rep
It appears that the whistle may have been blown when domestic sellers started complaining about the undercut of prices from international competitors.
eBay decided to cancel all the auctions until they can sort out the sellers that comply with their rules. Only MP Megaton’s that are sold within the U.S. and with an orange plug will be permitted on their online auctions. eBay will be issuing an announcement soon on their message boards…(no word yet on that date).
