Tell eBay that they had it right in 2005 and that selling
animals through eBay Classifieds is STILL a bad idea because it
supports irresponsible breeding.

Puppy breeders who sell to pet stores must be licensed by the
USDA, but there’s a gaping loophole in the Animal Welfare Act
that allows people who sell puppies online and through
classified ads like eBay’s to get around licensing.

INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
In a disappointing move, eBay has begun allowing people to
sell puppies, kittens and other animals through eBay
Classifieds. This gives puppy mills and other irresponsible,
possibly unlicensed animal producers a great new outlet through
which to sell their “stock” to unsuspecting customers.

what state these breeders are in, it is legal for them to keep
1,000+ dogs in small cages for their entire lives with
absolutely no oversight, and to advertise those puppies on
websites like eBay Classifieds — if they continue to allow it.

In 2005, eBay almost launched a new pet sale section, but
there was an overwhelmingly negative response from people who
knew it would open the door for puppy mills to sell even more
dogs online, and so eBay nixed the idea, admitting it wasn’t a
good one.
