It seems to me that EBAY has indicated clearly that the posts would be "non transactional" which I interpret to mean no sales. Seems like a good place to place an ad for litters. In fact it seems like a great place to place an ad. It would not be a bid format and you are still responsible for who you sell your puppies to. As long as it is simply a classified listing I really see no reason to pan this idea. I'll be curious to hear opposing views on this.
