If you know that the seller is a consultant, you can notify HO with the auction number and their ebay ID. I did this a couple of years ago when I found an auction for "Business opportunity" that was basically an informational page telling people to "contact me to become a consultant."
But unless they have something like that up, they could just be a former consultant getting rid of their stuff.

along these lines I was looking through the pampered chef stuff for sale on ebay and I saw a person who in the ad had their pc biz linked! and has only sold pc items. It's so frustrating to know that they are getting away with it. Chefann when you reported that person do you know what the repercussions were? not sure why but this one really bothers me, ~Tiffany P

I got a note back from HO thanking me for the information, and that they took violations of the consultant guidelines very seriously. They also said that they have a very limited staff to search out those infractions, so they do appreciate getting information when we find it.
But I don't know what specifically was done. If I remember my RFS, they can terminate a consultant's contract for violating the rules.
