You are correct that eBay does prohibit law enforcement related items from being sold on their service,
See http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/police.html. I would also be extremely careful when selling or trading this badge off because the NYPD takes a very dim view when it comes to the sale of any item that may be considered OFFICIAL New York City Police Dept. paraphernalia. There is a very stringent law in New York State which prohibits the sale and distribution of any law enforcement paraphernalia to non-law enforcement personnel. Now we don't want you to end up on Rikers Island, Mark.
