I've seen the same thing. It seemed to have started just after the $100 e-cert debacle. I think UA came down hard on eBay for abetting the sale of counterfeit goods. Now you'll see many of the UA auctions stating they are not travel agents and only offer one item per month. There must be some loophole about single listings per month. I have noticed that most of these auctions are canceled by eBay within a day or two. My favorite is the C class amenity kits complete with socks and eye masks! Woohoo!
