They can't be all that illegal since Matt Pedersen is obviously trying
to organize the first legal import to the US:

Omigod! That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time! If he's trying
to legally import jackii then *why* hold a private bidding auction on eBay
and protect bidder's identities against future inspection??? The plants
would be LEGAL! The USFWS would not give a shit who'd bid on what.

Maybe some of the people who are willing to pay lots of money for the
very first legal plant wouldn't appreciate any attention? ;

But if that's a concern, why use ebay at all? Especially if only pre-
approved bidders are wanted?
