Here is what the Webster online, unabriged edition, had to say about our sad friend here:
Prostitute
Pros"ti*tute (?), v. t. [imp. & p. p. Prostituted (?); p. pr. & vb. n. Prostituting.] [L. prostitutus, p. p. of prostituere to prostitute; pro before, forth + statuere to put, place. See Statute.]
1. To offer, as a woman, to a lewd use; to give up to lewdness for hire. Do not prostitute thy daughter." Lev. xix. 29.
2. To devote to base or unworthy purposes; to give up to low or indiscriminate use; as, to prostitute talents; to prostitute official powers. Milton.
Considering that the second definition takes into account that one is to accept payment in order to diminish itself to gain such worthy title of "prostitute"; we have to insist, that here, this young lad, is willing to push the limit even higher, by having the monetary exchange go from the protitute over to the client...
I am contacting the Merriam-Webster folks, and will request that this new behavior be classified under a new name, with a new definition. Too bad I did not get to witness his e-bay listing, it should have been forwarded along with my request, for case analysis.
