I only don't explicitly name auction sites when the topic is images of a stolen test shot, as I don't want to advertize auctions for stolen stuff. As long as it's about dealing with legal items, mentioning eBay is fine for me.

It more has to do with the fact that a lot of prototype/testshot/whateveryoucallthems have been leaked onto theifbay over the past few years, and Hasbro has discouraged fans from buying these items because they do not receive any compensation from the sale of these items, most of which have been smuggled out of the factories that manufacture the toys. In other words, these items are to be considered stolen property.
Basically, it's Nevermore's way of citing the source of the photos, without blatantly pointing out where these items can be found. People used to just post links to the auctions in news threads, but that practice has since been discouraged, and any links are quickly edited out of posts, in order to show cooperation with Hasbro's wishes.
EDIT: Nevermore beat me to it.

The only proper response to that, Cliffy, would be 'Deathsaurus'.. DeathRUS.. etc... Though, to be thankful, BotCon settled THAT at least.
It's Deszaras. I don't care what a convention toy is called, the big duck thing off of Victory is called Deszaras.
A better example would have been Minelba or Carb...

Ah, the fan one from a couple of years back? (Was that ever finished? They seem to have dropped off the planet...)
Until now, of course, the only official Elita One toy was the Takara sanctioned model kit with the name 'Elita One' on it. Of course, relying on Takara for proper spelling, etc, of names is an exercise in masochistic futility.

Technically, Hasbro are mostly indifferent to stolen test shots. Aaron Archer once claimed he likes fan sites reporting them so he could track down the source of the leaks. We're not one of those holier-than-thou sites who claim to act in Hasbro's best interest and censor any mention of the mere word "prototype". It's just been my personal policy that I don't want to support people profiting from stolen property, regardless of whether Hasbro actually cares or not. Hence, I report images of leaked test shots without directly pimping the auctions in question.
