Are these auctions still allowed?

Wonder how many of the 400+ "buyers" realise they have less than a 1% of getting the item they have "bought"? I can see lots of disputes and negative feedbacks!

Oh I'm sure there will be plenty who think that they are bidding to receive 4 hamsters for 99p, just take a look at one of the questions.....yeah maybe i take that back about wishing i had thought this up

hmm yeah.....but they are giving half to charity and Ebay is making a nice killing, do u reckon they would pull it?

It reads to me that only 50% of the 99p winning bid will be donated to charity, not sure why!

Because the seller snapped up a load of go go hamsters from John Lewis and can't shift them at the inflated prioces he hoped for?

I swear when I looked at this the other day the seller had received negatives from people who had bid on these gogo pets. Some of them were people saying they had bid just so they could leave a negative to complain about the fact the seller is breaching policy. Out of the 5000+ people who have viewed this item I'm sure many have reported it; I know I have. If ebay have had a look and deleted the feedback why haven't they deleted the listing? As the link posted above states, this listing isn't allowed. Seems like ebay just want to turn a blind eye and make some money out of it.
