I appreciate that you and other are happy to publically support campaigns, I am just trying to say that if Skyrider only wants to buy from those that place colours over their pics s/he might be missing out on items s/he wants from sellers who still support that cause but don't show it as publically. It is not a foolproof way of buying what you want, and sellers can always lie to get sales if that is all it takes.
In my opinion it is gaudy, just as the over used symbols for other causes such as pink ribbon. They attract an unfair amount of money for their causes while other, just as worthwhile ones, with less money to spend on marketing, miss out because many people are soo hooked on a 'trend'
"unfair amount of money" my foot.
For instance the pink ribbon campaign has seved to increase awareness of breast cancer, increased funding for research and treatment supports, and saved some lives along the way too, due to its effectiveness.
Businesses on and off eBay show their support on social issues and through promotion of campaign messages in our every day lives. The rainbow is but one of many. Another is a donation tin at the counter of a shop or letting a social activist promote their cause in their shop window.
