Probably true, but in my experience, eBay really don't do much to stop repeat offenders. I used to report listings I found, and giving eBay credit, 90% of the time, they would take them down within 24 hours.

What used to really annoy me was the same sellers constantly relisting stuff again and again, even to the point of doctoring the same photo on the listing that got taken down to remove Virgin / NTL logo's..... and eBay let them get away with it! I've noticed more and more recently with eBay that they are focusing on what makes them money rather than actually being more pro-active and linear thinking in stopping dodgy listings.

As people have said though, if VM was better at collecting old equipment, it wouldn't happen.
