Back in 1997 when Princess Diana had died, I auctioned off several sets of
pre-decimal British coinage for the Diana Princess of Wales Fund. I had no problems whatsoever, bids went high, buyers paid quickly and funds sent quickly to said fund. Frankly I think it was harassment. I replied to eBay with a strongly worded lettre with reference to the number of fraudulent sellers, sellers of counterfiet items, overgraded - misrepresented coins etc. that are reported to eBay on a daily basis - WHICH THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT. I sell very very little on eBay, and buy very little of late also. I have had some rather negative feelings about eBay and their practices for about a year and a half, things like paypal, addtl fees etc. This little matter did little to create positive karma about them. At least the auction was not pulled, and they will duly collect their FAV fee. But it maybe their last. I tried to do something good, and beneficial to a near and dear cause, and wow I get the big slap on the arse from fleaBay.

Did they give anyone a hard time when they were doing the auctions for the lawsuit vs. whats their problem? phil (I smell that familiar odor of....discrimination) -- Today 50 families will find out their child has autism. 1 in 166 children have an autism spectrum disorder.

Maybe you could contact them and ask them exactly what their policy toward charities is.Do they even have a policy if you want to set up a charity auction?I mean,other than contributing to them. Nice note,too. Seems I have heard quite often of some celebrity donating something for auction on Ebay with the proceeds going to a charity. I wonder if someone actually complained about the note auction, or if Ebay's sharp eyed detectives spotted something. Bruce --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
