Items stolen from the military ended up being fenced through sales online, as GAO investigators handed a House Subcommittee a laundry list of sensitive items they purchased.

This may come as a shock to some buyers out there, but just because you found it on eBay, doesn't mean you should have been able to pick up something banned for resale by the federal government.

A Cohen said in testimony eBay has policies, people, and technology in place to help keep prohibited items off of the site as well as removing them when they appear. He said eBay looks forward to coming up with more ways to keep prohibited military items off the site.
