Why have ebay issues listing rules for the iphone?
Due to the high demand and limited supply of the Apple iPhone, eBay is taking strong measures to protect both buyers and sellers within our community.
The Apple iPhone was released in the U.S. on 29th June, 2007. In order to sell an iPhone on eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie, you must comply with the following requirements:
One-day listings and Three-day listings are not allowed.
You must offer PayPal as a payment method.
New sellers cannot list using the Buy It Now (Fixed Price) option.
We’d like buyers to be aware that the telephone functionality on US iPhones at launch will only work with a mobile contract from AT&T.
We thank you for your understanding and we appreciate your continuing support in helping to keep eBay a great place to buy and sell.

Nah
Just let everyone know that you can't unlock it, that'll sort that embarrasment out.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist this:
"If you were hoping to make big bucks by reselling an iPhone on eBay, it doesn't look like it was really worth the effort.
Corey Spring has posted an analysis of iPhone listings on eBay over the weekend, and he has concluded that the average listing generated $54.43 in profit. That's not a very good return for those who waited in line for hours, or even days, in hope of flipping an iPhone for big bucks. The median return was even worse, at $34.16, which means that half of iPhone auctioneers made less than that amount.
Spring analyzed 993 eBay listings on Sunday in compiling his report. Half the listings didn't even receive a single bidder. A few folks made decent money, but most generated paltry returns for their time in line, and a few people lost money."

What happens to the AT&T contracts these folk took out before knocking their iPhones on? Is the original purchaser still lumbered with them or are they able to transfer them to the person who buys the iPhone?
The contract isn't entered into until the iPhone is activated, so I'd imagine the people selling them on haven't yet activated the iPhone or taken out the contracts. As far as transferring the contract goes, I don't have the faintest idea, I'm afraid.

Thats about right, the phone is activated through iTunes so I guess its done elsewhere after purchasing.
