I doubt you'll see the return of liquor sales on ebay US (aside from
licensed wine sellers.)

The reason they shut down is that 20/20 did a sting on them and got an 18 yr old to buy a bottle of vodka thru Ebay and when it was received by the underage person they had a story to do and hence the closure of alcohol sales.
Their disclaimer was in fact ridiculous regarding the value of the container and only a fool at Ebay wouldn't know that in fact spirits were being auctioned.
