> what do you think about this? I think you should report them to ebay, sending a clear link to Microchip's sample policy page, so they can deal with it. I'd expect Microchip is aware of the problem, if not doing anything about it, other than restricting distribution to eliminate people with common freebie e-mail accounts. Still might be worth a phone call or e-mail, when you spot one.
