e-bay deletes purported shuttle debris


On-line auction Web site eBay deleted several items billed as debris from the space shuttle Columbia from the on-line auction site Saturday, warning anyone attempting to sell fragments from the doomed shuttle could be prosecuted.

Company spokesman Kevin Pursglove said customer-service representatives received a handful of listings throughout the day from people purporting to have found debris in Texas.
