From the E-Bay Help section

"Recordings of Live Shows or Concerts ~ Recording of live shows or
concerts usually is an infringement of the music owners' copyright. Most
shows and concert promoters prohibit anyone, except a few licensed
parties, from recording or the shows. Such unauthorized recordings are
often referred to as "bootlegs." Even those artists which allow or even
encourage personal recording of lives shows often prohibit the sale of
such recordings." 

"As a matter of eBay policy, music on CD-R (including CD-RW) may not be
listed on eBay, unless the seller is the copyright owner and states this
in the item description. This policy also means that even lawful
authorized music recordings on CD-R are not permitted on eBay. This
following situation illustrates how this might arise. 
Example: An local band decides to release its latest album on CD-R. The
band sells the album on CD-R on eBay to Katie. This is permissible
because the band is the copyright owner of the music. Katie now wants to
resell the music on CD-R on eBay. The music on CD-R is "lawful music,"
but Katie (or anyone other than the band) is not permitted to list this
item on eBay."
