A friend of mine has told me that a girl he knows downloaded a photo of papal robes, and put them on eBay: Still Warm! Used (but immaculate) Papal Robe! Bids starting at ...$, etc.
It was up there for about two hours, and there were several bids before they pulled her offer and temporarily suspended her account.
What appalling bad taste! What crass insensitivity to the feelings of a young female member! How dare eBay act in this arbitrary way?
