The answer is, yes, a small third-party used listing was removed by eBay. The fact that large retailers are recirculating used Pis has no bearing on what makes this intriguing (see my reply).

The open question is whether this is part of broader efforts by parties such as eBay or the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

There's plenty of listings from individuals and small companies. No open question. Anyone can buy or sell Raspberry Pis on ebay as evidence by the thousands of people doing that.
You're absolutely correct about the presence of listings. I agree with your skepticism towards describing this as anything more than a one-off bad copyright flagging on eBay AU. That being said, the event does warrant attention to check whether it is part of broader (perhaps regional) behavior.
