This is a simple case of copyright theft. There is simply
no way that this seller has the right to sell copies of this
stuff.
You have the right to download the material from the gcp.se
(who I assume have the right to allow you to make that copy).
You have the right to do whatever you want with the copy you
downloaded, including update it, clean it up, whatever. You
do *not* have the right to redistribute it in any form. You
can sell your original copy of it, but only if you don't
retain any of the copies you made of it as well.
I could sell an audio copy of "Harry Potter and the Magic
Throne" by reading into a microphone then copying that to a CD
and selling the CD. Simply because I *can* do it doesn't make
it legal, even if I put my own work into it; the "book on tape"
verison is simply a derivitive of the original and now has two
copyrights -- the original and my audio version.
As to if Ebay will do anything about it? I dunno.
Of course, I am not a lawer (or a librarian, for that matter)
so I could easily be dead wrong. And, also, if you live in some
parts of the world where copyright laws are not terribly
developed, different rules apply...
