Careful, these might be reprints, not originals. I've bought reprints from this seller.

Is this copy righted material, and if so, is it legal to reprint and sell for profit?

, and if so, is it legal to reprint and sell for profit?

Nope.

Years ago I bought a 'set' of these from a seller in the same town and they were all reprints. It was obvious when I compared them to my few originals that I bought back in the day.

Most of this comes from James Shipman, doing business as heracleides on ebay. We apparently cannot stop him from doing business.

They seem expensive for reprints (and are clearly NOT labeled as 'reprints' on E-Bay).

I bought a few items from him.
Some of them are clearly reprints such as the GK signal which are smaller than the only issue I had previously, but these reprints seem not recent: they look like 10 years old laser printing.
I bought also some cargonaut booklets and they had the cargonaut red stamp.
Maybe they are "old" approved reprints that stayed in a storage for many years:
the email address used for paypal makes me think he is indeed Paul Sanders.
I don't know if these reprints have been with IP owner consent (but I hope/expect so) but at least I'm thankfull because otherwise I doubt I would have ever read any of these GK signal zines...

He's not Paul Sanders, Paul Sanders was Cargonaut Press.
