Did you mean epn? And do you mean scraping auctions for content?
lol, I'm struggling this morning already.
I've been working on throw away mashup sites using ebay to simply build page volume for long tails(wpzon builder). Then use those for back links to slightly higher quality money sites. We'll see how it goes.
You're going to get banned. Just FYI.

The devil is in the details. Depends on how you do it. Leave images and old links up, sure you'll eventually get banned. Smart 404, maybe some redirecting, probably not. Either way no big woop.

Actually - if you're using it to build content couldn't you avoid the ban by...
1.) Putting up a private blog that posts ebay stuff
2.) Use WP-Robot or some other auto-blog to pull the RSS feed from site #1 and post stuff that way
That way the ebay site could stay within the TOS and the feeder sites would be fairly hard to find (unless, of course, they did have affiliate links in them still).
If you're just building content there is probably a pretty easy way to launder it so ebay doesn't see it on a declared epn domain.
