actually, ebay does allow copyright holder to sell their own cdr's as stated
in their policies:

eBay Policy on Music on CD-R:
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.

poor Katie, she can't  re-sell the damn thing!
