Overview
- The platform removed a listing for “Jeffrey Epstein’s Desk Art,” a 4-by-4-foot giclée of Kees van Dongen’s Femme Fatale, after a review found policy violations.
- The seller had asked $25,000 and claimed the print once hung over Epstein’s Manhattan desk, citing photos by federal investigators and past media coverage.
- The item was described as coming from a New Jersey auction that sold Epstein estate pieces, where the same print reportedly went for $275.
- eBay did not name the exact rule breached, though its policies bar certain offensive materials and require certificates of authenticity for expensive art.
- The now-scrubbed post, which previously sought up to $50,000, highlights attempts to flip Epstein-linked items and how media attention can trigger marketplace enforcement.
