eBay auction trivia never gets old, and the two latest cases from eBay UK are good fodder for discussions on marketplace ethics.
eBay UK stirred a small flurry of press coverage by pulling an auction for a 1" high non-posable figurine of Adolf Hitler sold by a military model enthusiast, either clearly (some would say) or not (others would say) in violation of eBay's partial ban on Nazi memorabilia, even as Osama bin Laden and Taliban figures continue to do well.
Meanwhile, the iconic red UK mailboxes that have been turning up on eBay...aren't replicas. In fact, they are being literally torn from the ground to be sold to collectors abroad, according to the Royal Mail.
Here we see evidence on all fronts that the fact that anything can be found for sale on eBay is not always a good thing. More at:
