The platform recently took down a listing for a police surveillance device that had previously been listed for big money.
Earlier this week, we noticed that a Harris Stingray was for sale on eBay for a cool $100k. Police have historically used these notably creepy surveillance devices to grab mobile traffic out of the air via cell tower emulation. Yes, someone was selling one of these suckers for lots of money, and it had garnered a certain amount of interest. However, it would appear that the sale of said device violated eBay’s terms of service. The platform told 404 Media that it had taken the listing down.
Consistent with our Electronic Equipment Policy, we are removing this listing and will continue to monitor the marketplace.” Gizmodo reached out to eBay for additional information and will update this story if it responds. Let’s be honest, you probably didn’t want to own a Stingray anyway. First of all, it’s not totally clear whether using this thing as a civilian would be entirely legal. And it wasn’t even necessarily a functioning device.
