The problem here is you inferred something that I did not imply. I warned about a known practice. I did not make the assumption that the book in question was definitely one of those taken off the Professor's site, because in fact, you had not told us yet what book it was. But, as it happens, that book had been downloaded (legally), but was being sold for personal gain. So you were making the assumptions. And, BTW, I never said that people shouldn't buy things from eBay.
Curious that you're more worried about assumptions (which you've made, left and right), than you are about the ethics or legality of the practice which your bookseller seems to have been doing for some time.
