Started out with my usual hunt around last night worldwide for any nice kingfisher figurines in all categories.I always see there are a lot of kingfisher skulls/skins for sale.looked into it further to satisfy my curiousity.These are farmed,wild caught and bought from markets in Asia.I thought thats bad enough.Decided to go further and look what fur was for sale.Happened across one seller from China with over 8000 feedbacks selling all sorts of fur products from many different animals and they stated they are all from Chinese Fur Farms.Kept going and did a Google search on these farms{WORST THING I EVER DID}.Go and watch a couple of videos,I dare you.Extreme cruelty at its absolute worst.I do not belong to any group.This is just an experience that happened.Ebay Honchos need to get together and watch this stuff on a big screen and just ban this from being sold on Ebay.But we are very greedy and it always come down to the dollar and to hell with anything else.I did see there were petitions to sign on the internet so maybe people could take out a little time to support this.Once in a blue moon I get on these message boards but felt I had to have a say.

because of yours and others comments on every thread.
Good thing I don't comment on every thread, then.
And I know how to play by the rules. I haven't personally attacked anybody because I don't agree with their POV.

If you don't like what a certain company or person is doing, don't buy things them. That's a no-brainer and you probably already know that.
If you feel strongly about something, bring it up in a legal case or find an appropriate avenue that will take your matter further. Otherwise, threads like these may (unfortunately) turn into attacks based on viewpoints and they don't help your cause other than venting frustration.

Thankyou for comments patchoo
To answer your question -
I carefully read my labels and make sure i don't wear leather shoes or anything made from an animal product. animals come in all shapes and sizes and sometime's they're not all generally cute and fluffy - as you may know 🙂
Good to see that you are well aware of what happens in fur farms. If only there was something more that we could do to stop the unnecessary suffering.

It would hurt any Westernised global company if it became widely known that they aided in the severe abuse and killing of animals by giving a worldwide avenue for the abusers to generate income. eBay not only does that but they also profit from the abuse by taking a commission on each product sold. Viewer discretion is advised when watching this link: http://www.unleashed.org.au/videos/?video=fur-farms. Sometimes you don't know what you're doing until it's shown in crystal clarity.

People need to stop buying fur, if there is no market for it perhaps the industry will stop..

Davewil, you asked a question up there .Here are the Collins English dictionary definitions.From what I have seen they do not apply to you.I do believe that people who argue for the humane treatment of animals (not you OP) should also be able to treat people humanely.
moron (ˈmɔːrɒn ) Definitions noun
a foolish or stupid persona person having an intelligence quotient of between 50 and 70, able to work under supervision
dimwit (ˈdɪmˌwɪt ) Definitionsnoun(informal) a stupid or silly person
OP , I understand how you are feeling.Perhaps it is possible to take the issue (complaint) to a higher level ?

I 100 percent think this should be run by staff so the so called experts can't coment
Yes, because the information you get from a phone monkey when you call ebay is so accurate
