Apparently my earlier post did not come through.  Anyway, here is the 
answer I received from eBay when I wrote concerning the sale of animals 
on their site.  Doris

Thanks for getting in touch with me to share your views regarding new
services we're considering to bring sellers and buyers of pets together.
It's clear that our members see a strong distinction between pet
adoption (e.g., the kind offered by responsible local shelters and
advocated by leading animal welfare organizations) and selling pets for
profit, which unfortunately can be associated with behavior that's
inhumane and/or illegal.  I want you to know that we at eBay.com
understand and agree with this distinction. 

Based on responses from members like you - including many animal welfare
professionals -- we're going to exclude commercial breeders and
for-profit sale of pets from further consideration.  Instead, we'll
focus the discussion on listings of available rescue animals from vetted
local shelters to support responsible pet adoption. 

It's clear that we need to proceed very carefully. As our plans take
shape, we'll again ask for input from our community. In the meantime,
thanks for sharing your views with us.


Sincerely,


Lori
