This is the response I got from Ebay
Thanks for getting in touch with me to share your views regarding new
services weâ??re considering to bring sellers and buyers of pets together.
Itâ??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 thatâ??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 â?? including many animal welfare
professionals -- weâ??re going to exclude commercial breeders and for-profit
sale
of pets from further consideration. Instead, weâ??ll focus the discussion on
listings of available rescue animals from vetted local shelters to support
responsible pet adoption.
Itâ??s clear that we need to proceed very carefully. As our plans take shape,
weâ??ll again ask for input from our community. In the meantime, thanks for
sharing your views with us.
Sincerely,
Lori
