Selling livestock on ebay?

Kimberley

I can't find the complaint link to complain about this listing. The seller is advertising baby hamsters :eek: Anyone know where it is?

Bottom of the listing- Safety Centre link - you can report listing violations.
I've reported it, but please do also to ensure the listing goes.

I am just wondering what a seller who is offering "5 lovely hamsters for local pick up only" does with the hamsters once the auction is pulled and they cannot sell them easily? :rolleyes:

Rules are rules folks, but common sense should really prevail.

Hopefully they do the responcible thing if they don't want them and hand them over for free to a rescue! Loads of rescues will even try to help out if funds allow with picking them up... Sorry but there is NO excuse for selling them on Ebay! If you allow hamsters then fancy rats because they are nearly the same and well surely baby kittens aren't much different and a reeeeeaally small puppy would do any harm would it? Ebay recently did a thing on their forums wanting to change their policyto allow listings of livestock. I think in a matter of 2 days they had 50000 replies all being very vocal on the issue of NOT selling animals on Ebay.
I guess part of it is that by selling on Ebay means you have no way of checking the animals health etc and it would make it even easier for puppy farmers for example to sell off unwanted pups and substandard dogs.
Ebay can only enforce the rules it has in place, it cannot force people to be responcible and decent human beings.
