Technically no; but you can probably get away with it if you make them low
resolution thumbnails, since you are using the images to advertise the
selling of supposedly legitimate original prints or copy prints which the
scans represent and not the scans themselves or prints made from the scans.

I know this is off topic, but since so many members here that produce
photo's commercially I hope you can answer a question for me.

I purchased a set of 4 Landscape Prints at an auction a couple days ago. It
is my intention to sell them on eBay, however, they are un-signed so I am
not to optimistic.

My question is: "Can I scan them, and display a small picture of them on
eBay for advertising without violating the copyright of the original
photographer?"

TIA,
