    I agree that it's the buyers that are to blame but where does it end wirm?

    Will people be selling off pink ribbons, or diary stickers for breast cancer awareness next? And will that all be 'fair game'?

    If the demand is there, then people will sell them!

    Supply and demand!.......

    I know, but maybe eBay should look at some of the things being sold?

    To me, selling something that's supposed to make people aware of such things like breast cancer shouldn't be exploited for cash, unless that cash goes to the charity, after expenses.

    But that's just my opinion.

    lol! eBay will never do anything! Just look at all the links and fake items that are on!

    They won't worry about something as triva as wristbands! All they are after is money! :(

    That takes us back to charity shops! Where do you stop?

    As said above... if people are stupid enough to pay for the sake of fashion then let them waste their money...

    Isn't that why there's so many posers driving BMW 3-series, 4x4s, Minis, AUdi TT, etc... ;)

    ...and Greed is one of the deadly sins... I personally wouldn't sell something for £20 that I received for free and keep the money... it would go to charity.
