Well, doesn't that just prove that they have bowed to the immense pressure put upon them  by genuine Animal Lovers?

You are correct there,

i sell on aus ebay i own a store and that is against the rules you cannot sell livestock on ebay and i doubt and hope it wont change dont we have enough animals in pet shops pounds and in the newspaper being given to people you dont know and you dont know if they will take care of them i hope to god noone goes ahead with this idea ebay is to either professionally dropship or sell or to get rid of useless stuf around the house are we going to start putting living animals in the useless catergory it is the worst idea ever i dont agree with it

Its the same as UK Slee but this is to do with ebay.com the US branch.

Good manners cost nothing.

Okay so it's the US but it does show some of the lenghts some people will go to to make money.......

exactly goldmali

they are companions, pets

i hope the us dont do it i think the shelters already advertise there pets enough and if people want to get one from a shelter just about everyone knows where they are they dont need ebay to adopt out there animals  which is what shelters do they dont sell animals they adopt them out with a fee
