Yes - the IceTrade TOS were put together with the help of a very good lawyer.

No, I don't need to. You're misinterpreting the rule about ebay. It doesn't state that it can't be for sale on ebay or any other for-sale site. It says that you can't simply link to a thread/posting on any other classifieds site. You have to list the item in entirety on IceTrade.
Extra clarification, if needed:

And who is going to moderate all of the thousands of threads each year to make sure they all comply to the letter? What a nightmare that would be.
Like Scott says, it'd be better to pull the whole thing than to have an unwieldy system of rules in place to try and protect people from the 0.01% chance that a sale might go bad.
Use common sense, ask questions, ring the person, ask for a phone number.. we've discussed these things before. It's not that hard.
