Thumbs down Person is Selling a Sun Conure On Ebay!!

Wow, I was looking at parrot products today on ebay, and a person is actually selling a LIVE BIRD on ebay!! I reported them right away, and I hope they remove the listing... Here is the link:

SUN CONURE - eBay (item 120210079957 end time Jan-20-08 10:42:32 PST)

Shame on them...

Taylor, Blaze, and Buckeye

I thought that they now allow the sales of live animals.

Since you've reported them Ebay will take them down (and fairly soon - I'd be shocked if there were there 3 hours from now), the sale will never happen thru eBay. I can't imagine someone actually considering eBay for that. I see the user has a feedback of 1 which means it may be just a scam as well.

Bravo for finding it and help eliminating it. It's too bad the seller (if truely a real breeder) doesn't use resources for adoption - for example this board - to try and sell her fids chicks. Then people could learn more about the the birds and some background. I for one would be leary to buying a bird online (but several months ago was seriously considering it, as no breaders live around me and the pet stores didn't sell what I wanted) without havnig a LOT more info than what they had posted and definatively would not bind myself to an auction contract for one.

Thanks quakerlover for posting the rules. I went and read up on them just now myself. I was shocked to read this in eBay's policies though:

eBay also permits the sale of hatching eggs provided the seller only offers domestic shipping within the U.S.

Well, that's good. I remmeber at one time they were certainly considering it. They got a lot of opposing feed back from it too.

It's gone. Does anyone remember the name of the seller? If so, I want to put him/her on my daily watch list in case they try again.
