WELL GUES THIS IS WHAT I RECEIVED FROM EBAY.
Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to report items that you suspect breach
eBay policies.

We take reports of members who break our rules very seriously and we'll
investigate your report as soon as possible - usually within 24-48
hours. If we find the item/s breach eBay's listing policies for sellers,
we'll remove them from the site..

You can read our policies by copying this link into a new browser
window:

  http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/listing-ov.html - http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/listing-ov.html

As it's important that eBay maintains member privacy, we won't be able
to share details of any action we take on the seller's account. This
eBay principle protects the privacy of all our members.

  eBay's VeRO Programme - protecting intellectual property

If you believe that a listing on eBay breaches the intellectual property
rights of a third party ("rights owner"), you can contact the relevant
rights owner and inform them of the listing. Rights owners can request
the removal of listings that infringe their intellectual property rights
through eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Programme.

A lot of our verified rights owners have About Me pages that contain
their contact details. Please copy this link into a new browser window
to have a look:

  http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/vero-aboutme.html - http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/vero-aboutme.html

If you are a rights owner and would like more information about joining
the VeRO Programme, please copy this link into a new browser:

Thank you again for your support in helping us to keep eBay a safe and
reputable place to buy and sell.
 

Regards,

eBay Trust & Safety

As far as I know, if something is in the public domain, the user can do anything he/sje wants with it. Therefore there doesn't seem to be anything illegal about taking free stuff from the public domain and selling it. Hippocrene Books has done this for years. (For example, the Hungarian Basic Course published by Hippocrene is just a reprint of the textbook for Hungarian Basic Course Vol. 1)

I'd argue that it's usually a little sneaky or underhanded for someone to sell this FSI course material when anyone can download it for free but it's not worth getting angry about it.
