I am absolutely appalled that eBay is allowing the sale of Live8 tickets. I don't care if it's not technically illegal, it's still wrong, and it sickens me that eBay is willing to profit off the sale of charity tickets, which cost the sellers nothing and the sale of which benefits no one but eBay and the sellers themselves. The people for whom this event is intended to benefit receive NOTHING from the improper sale of these tickets (any "donation" of fees eBay claims to be considering is blood money, plain and simple). I used to have a good deal of respect for eBay, even after the raising of store fees forced me to close my store, I still kept my accounts and have sold items occasionally, but this latest stunt is inexcusable. I will be seriously reconsidering my use of eBay, and PayPal (which I have used, so far, exclusively for my business's credit card processing) if this is allowed to continue.
I've sent the above rant to eBay, via the 'customer support' feature. Sorry, customer support folks, but that's the only way of contacting eBay, so you're getting it.
