eBay claims they care about animals and their customers, but their rules are just words and not enforced.

Ebay violates their own Terms Of Service (TOS) agreement.

This site was created by Protect R Wildlife in 2005 as part of the campaign to convince eBay (and subsequently other on-line auctions) to stop allowing their auctioneers to sell illegal and offensive items, and change their program, or hire someone to monitor these items, BEFORE they go to auction!!  

We have been trying to get a response for a year.  Once we did, we didn't get the answer we wanted - just passed around yet again and again.  

A new report will soon be released outlining the progress we are making investigating eBay and other such auctions.  Not only will we be continuing to complain about each item, but will be reporting the buyer, seller and eBay for each illegal auction and sale.  

Pressure is still needed on eBay to live up to their commitments and make the necessary changes to stop these illicit activities.  Merely having the suggestions and contacts for buyers and sellers to read on their TOS agreement under Prohibited Sale Items is not enough.  Since there is NO ONE to monitor whether these people have the necessary permits or not, they are an accomplice in these acts.

The new report is scheduled to be released by June 1, 2005.  Check back to this site for a link to the report and new photos of illegal items showing up on eBay's auction site.
