Subject: Live Pets Classified
This is a definate no to your adding anything to do with selling live
animals of any type on e-Bay. This subject should have never even been
brought up by e-Bay.
If you want to do something to help with the animal shelters and rescues
take a percentage of your profits and donate then to the many deserving
shelters and rescues that use e-Bay as a way to raise funds. If you are
going to offer services such as grooming , walking,etc.who is going to do
the background check on the people offering these services?? I like the
majority of the people that are responding will not use e-Bay if this
happens,and will do everything in my power to put a stop to e-bay in its
entirity. Remember word of mouth is your biggest adevertiser and it can
also be the downfall of e-Bay.
