    She's hardly going to post them in a parcel!

    Anyway they're sold everywhere or given it doesn't matter. Why is it any different selling them on eBay to anywhere else or giving them away? Theres no cat owners regisiter to check!

    What if you put plenty of holes in the box?

    Is it just me or has the auction disappeared?

    Ebay have pulled it already. I wonder why it's not OK to sell live kittens but you can buy tropical fish, tropical insects and snails on there :confused:

    I don't think any animal or fish should be sold on Ebay because you can't control how they are treated. Some people might acually think posting kittens in a box with no air holes is a good idea. There's a lot of idiots out there.

  • But with the best will in the world, once sold, you cannot control how they are treated, regardless of the advertising medium.

    I agree, but the principle I suppose might be that you see the picture on e-bay and bid for the cute cuddly !!!!!, without thinking that you might have to look after it for several years.

    I can't believe they won't let me write pu55y

  • Ok, two problems with this in my eyes:

    - Live animals on ebay (I don't care if she says 'don't bid', it's a live animal, and not allowed.
    - Advertising on ebay. Ebay take a very dim view of this, and in light of what she's advertising, I'm against it too.

    If she's potentially such a respectable breeder, what on earth is she doing advertising on ebay?
