Totally against eBay listing rules:

 

"eBay does not permit listings that sell an opportunity to win an item or prize either by chance or in connection with a skill contest.

 

Specifically, eBay does not permit listings that promote giveaways, lotteries, sweepstakes, random drawings, raffles, contests, or prizes. Such promotions are highly regulated and may be unlawful in many states.

 

eBay itself may run such promotions on the site, and may grant authorization to its partners or third party companies to run promotions that comply with applicable laws.

 

See the Examples and Additional information sections below for greater detail on the various types of listings to which this policy may apply. These sections are intended to provide guidance, and should not be viewed as an exhaustive list.

 

*

 

Listing cancellation

*

 

Limits on account privileges

*

 

Account suspension

*

 

Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

*

 

Loss of PowerSeller status "

 

I think it should be reported

 

Would this be considered a "prize giveaway" even though you are actually buying a lot that "may contain" something "special"?

It is a lottery/chance drawing, clearly not allowed by eBay.

 

Here is the direct link to the relevant clause:

The listing doesn’t single out anything that “may” be contained within the grab bag that has particular monetary or obvious collectible value. For example, grab bag listings for collectible comic books can’t allude to the possibility that a specific rare, high value comic book “may” be included within the grab bag. This type of listing is considered a lottery, which is not allowed on eBay.

 

Gotcha! Clearly a violation..
