An eBay seller tried to capitalise on the horrific Notre Dame blaze by selling timber they claimed to be from the cathedral's remains.
The auction site has removed the listing as well as adverts for t-shirts with the slogan "Je Suis Notre Dame" under a policy against items which "profit from human tragedy or suffering".
On Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the blaze, an advert offering "embers from the Notre Dame fire" was posted to the auction site.
The post, which included a generic photograph of a burning log, was removed by eBay after it was asked by the Press Association if such listings were acceptable.
T-shirts advertised as "Fire Remember Tops" were also deemed unacceptable.
Posted under the username s55dvl-9, the listing for the section of timber included the message: "Grab a section of timber from the fire."
Bidding was started at 99p.
The listing said the item would be posted from the UK "with Royal Mail 2nd Class Letter" for a fee of 61p.
An eBay spokesman said: "eBay does not tolerate the sale of any item that seeks to profit from human suffering or tragedy and this listing has been removed."
The shirts, posted under at least 14 separate listings, were removed under the same policy.
Sellers who post such items are given a warning.
Repeat offenders can have their accounts suspended.
The company said it is on the lookout for similar posts.
According to its site, the firm's policy permits items related to natural disasters which have "substantial social, artistic, or political value".
"Charity websites or charity listings set up to benefit the victims of a disaster or tragic event" are also allowed.
It bans "listings and products that graphically portray, glorify or attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering, or that are insensitive to victims of such events".
