( 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: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takea...ltl=1134858895 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. __________________________________________________ ______________ Here is what their employee stated: View Listings | Report Dec-16-05 12:37 PST 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!
