Michigan vs Ohio State & eBay vs Charity

So, it's OK to scalp tickets on eBay for personal profit but once you announce that the money is going to a "good cause" they'll shut you down? According to reports, Kristie Sigler and her husband, Ken were trying to sell two tickets to this weekend's much anticipated Michigan-Ohio State game in order to raise money to adopt a boy from Guatemala (Madonna must have been busy). The couple says eBay shut down their sale without so much as a call or an e-mail, because it violated the company's prohibition on charitable auctions. Although eBay has these rules "because charitable fundraising is a highly regulated area subject to numerous state and federal laws," were the Siglers actually doing charity fundraising? If they had said the proceeds would be spent buying beer for tailgating instead of defraying the $12,500 cost of processing their adoption paperwork, would that have been allowed?
