It's 50/50 in my opinion. they are turning a blind eye
.. briefly or indefinitely nobody knows.
Once everyone is on MP they may revisit all the banned users and make a firm decision on whether they will let them continue to sell or not.
I think the important thing to remember, banned or not. If you create an account now, and previously banned. You'll still be suspended before you even get a chance to convert it to MP. So i suppose this is for those who want to change stealth information over to real, opposed to real from the start. I haven't decided what i want to do. With the way ebay suspends, i don't know if it matters
