( I did npt write this - it was sent to me via email. Pass this along if
you can. I'm only posting to 1 Usenet group, so if you're a regular in
another.....Also, buried in the pages of dissent on the site there is a
petition:

Here's the note I got, and you can verify this is true by visiting the
eBay Community Boards: )



It was posted (see below) by an ebay employee that their "venue" is
considering allowing live animal classifieds. They are not calling
these auctions, which I would imagine is some legalese way of
charging fees without taking any responsibility for the actual
items.

ebay has never allowed the sale of animals (with the exception of
aquatics), and I shudder to think about what will happens to rescues
after irresponsible folks now start cranking out even more litters,
because now they have another way to reach the public. Or someone
who will now get yet another cute puppy, without researching the
breed, because they decided to make a spur of the moment decision.

Dear Pets Community Members-


We are hoping to launch a Live Pets Classified Format early next
year. The listings would not be transactional and there would only be
a listing fee. We are also looking into allowing non-profit animal
shelters to list animals for adoption for free.



I would love to know what our active community members think about
this new category. We are also considering Pet Services in this
format as well - grooming, walking, etc..



Please feel free to reply to this thread or email me directly at



Thanks!

Lori Pretzer

Pet Supplies Category Manager
