  • This whole thing lies at Ebay's door, wouldn't it be easy for them to make a rule whereas you would have to be a registered charity to sell any charity related goods like these bands? Its appalling that people can make vast profits from charity (including camelot!). These bands are a good idea, its just like having charity badges etc, but if Nike are making profit from these then thats wrong too.
    There does seem to be a lot of different types available now, it's going a bit far and I'm sure we will have another fad soon to replace this one.
