Not true:
eBay Guideline:
Make your listings clear: if you're selling a brand-name product, you can probably show a picture of the product and refer to the company by name, but you cannot do so in such a way that it suggests that your listing is approved, sponsored or endorsed by the manufacturer. Also, you must be careful not to sell products which bear the brand name of a company that didn't make the product.
However, as it looks like an AP Valves photo it probably infringes copyright, but that is a separate issue.

They have a whole pile of complicated rules one reads when one´s account is pulled. The rules are complicated because one indexes another and another. The section this infringes is under copying another advert. If your words or picture is a copy of any other advert OR not the actual kit you are selling, it is cause for them to pull the account.
Not why I got pulled: just posted some technical equipment with a high value, but gave me several months of going through the rules really carefully with Ebay. They do not accept Emails, only faxes and letters to Dublin (this is Ebay UK).
