Hilariously sleazy!!! A home page featured item, appears to me to be a 'service', and I say that because it is 'local pickup only', along with title, in part "Get Sex Now". The photos even appear to me to be underage people!
There were a some screencaps posted by someone else where they caught the live link on the front page, in the featured items links. Edited screencaps below, but anyone who wants to see them for themselves can follow the links to ebay and see the live pages.
These are not hosted on any account that I own, so someone should save the images in case they disappear.
I was hoping to find an image of the entire front page, showing ebay's banner and url. I guess if I reload ebay.com enough, it will eventually show up.
Oh look here. More ebay child porn related sleazery! More PROOF that ebay is a terrible place to buy anything. Lord only knows what you may find yourself getting involved in! eeeek!!!
"Jul-16-08 14:17 PDT I received a phone that has inappropriate photos of an underage child on it. (Basically - almost nude in extremely suggestive poses) I am disturbed - even though I believe it was the childs phone, it just freaks me out at how unsafe this is. The parent is the one who packed and shipped it, that I know. What if some questionable person received it - they would have the full address, phone, names, etc etc of this child and family... so so so scary.
What can I do? I didn't say anything to the seller (parent) - figured I would get some advice here. The parent/ seller also lied numerous times to me and the item is useless due to a huge overdue balance on the account, so a return is probably coming."

Not sure if those are the very same images I saw. I thought I saw 3 which could have been composited to produce a full page as you mention.
If you are looking for any screencap utilities, Firefox has a couple good extensions for full page capture,
(although that one borks my set-up) I use the older version with a different gui, save as image 1.044 (This one needs 'bumped' to make compatible for FF3, but it did not work properly for me on Vista with FF3 any way I tried, works fine on XP. Read the cautions at the older versions page)
And this one is brand new, and does a lot more! (windows only, free and paid versions available)

Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!
This sure appears as though it may well be related to the above:
Gleaner staff report Originally published 08:34 a.m., September 3, 2008 Updated 08:34 a.m., September 3, 2008
A Henderson County, Ky., grand jury indicted a Henderson man on Tuesday on charges of possessing child pornography.
Justin T. Evans, 19, was indicted on two counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.
Evans was originally charged with 54 counts of this offense after 54 pornographic pictures of children were allegedly found on a cellular phone he sold on eBay.
Officials said although Evans was indicted on two counts, the remaining 52 charges are still pending.
Evans was arrested in August after the person who purchased the phone off of eBay found the pictures and turned the phone over to city police.
