I have seen lots of formula on ebay and I have sometimes reported it via 
monitoring to Baby Milk Action.  Selling formula at a discount (no matter 
what its source) is against the WHO code, it is even against th law here in 
the UK -- so a lot of breastfeeding advocates spend a lot of time reporting 
and complaining when they see discounted packets on the bargain shelves. 

My all time astonisher was a whole 900 gram tin for one penny.  I actually 
bought some just to have the receipt, since I didn't have a camera with me 
when I spotted it. 

Complaints have been made to ebay (this is ebay UK) who didn't take it 
seriously.  (This was all a few years ago). 

As with any theft, you need a means of getting the item to customers -- that 
middleman is not without responsibility.
