: Some of you may know that about every week I go
into eBay and look under certain categories to be
sure iguanas and other reptiles are not being put
up for bids (its forbidden). I found what I feel
is truly a horrible item and wrote eBay about it.
Much to my dismay, they told me "too bad" in a
round about way. I'm asking if you feel the same
way as I do about this item, to please write eBay
and express your feelings in a mature way. Here's
the info and eBay's response.

: item description and item number:Real lizard
claw keychain / key chain Item #286665805 (its a
dang lizard FOOT!)

: eBay's email address:Report@ebay.com

: Their response:
: Hello Sue,

: Thank you for taking the time to email us about
an objectionable listing on our site. I truly
appreciate your concern regarding this listing, as
well as your desire to keep our site a fun place
to trade.

: Some members occasionally post items or services
on eBay that many find to be immoral or
objectionable. Although these auctions are not
favored by many, please remember that often the
items are not prohibited by law. Since our effort
is to promote a free and diverse community, eBay
is reluctant to interfere with auctions of lawful
items. Please understand that there are many of us
at eBay that may share your distaste with a
particular item and may not endorse that
particular sale, however, we try to understand and
tolerate the many viewpoints held by our worldwide
user community. As a result of these things, eBay
will not edit the contents of a member's listing
if the item itself is legal to sell and/or it is
not prohibited due to internal listing rules.

: However, there is an alternative you may want to
consider. In situations where items or services
are listed that are not consistent with community
morals, the community may choose to express their
opinion to the seller of the items or services.
Please remember that many individuals may not be
aware that the item or service they are listing
might be offensive and may welcome your email
letting them know how you feel.

: I hope this information has helped to explain
our position on items such as the one you have
reported.

: Please let me know if I can be of further
assistance.

: Regards,
