No Pets For Sale On eBay

E-Bay has canceled plans to allow pets to be sold on its Web site. That's because it got thousands of angry letters.

For years, eBay has banned the sale of live animals except fish and snails. And, now they're scrapping plans to create a separate classifieds category that would have featured free ads from animal shelters and paid ads from breeders.

When the chance of that category was mentioned on a message board, more than two-thousand E-Bay users wrote in, urging the ban on sales of live animals not to be lifted.
