Verkoop van alle soorten ivoor wordt verboden op eBay vanaf eind dit jaar. Wie nog wat antieke (gedeeltelijk) ivoren voorwerpen wil verkopen moet vlug zijn.
eBay has decided to institute a global ban on the sale of all types of ivory. This global ban will be effective January 1, 2009.
Will the ban on ivory sales include items which happen to include ivory, such as antique furniture with an ivory inlay or old piano’s with keys made from ivory?
We will allow some antique items that contain a small amount of ivory, such as a table with a small ivory inlay or an antique piano with ivory keys. We define “antique” for the sale of items that contain a small amount of ivory as pre-1900.
Items which contain a significant amount of ivory, regardless of the age, such as chess sets, ivory broaches and ivory jewelry are not permitted under the new policy.
How does this affect genuine ivory sellers who want to sell it on eBay? What about buyers who want to buy legal ivory on eBay?
We already had stringent regulations in place for the sale of ivory. However, due to the unique nature of eBay’s global online marketplace and the growing complexity of the rules and regulations surrounding the sale of ivory, we decided to roll out a complete ban of the sale of ivory on eBay to protect our buyers, sellers, and the endangered and protected species from which ivory is derived.

Behalve voor de aanbieder, gaat eBay Spanje ook de gebruikersnamen van winnende bieders, dus kopers, gecodeerd houden vanaf eind oktober. Gaat zich dat ook uitbreiden naar andere sites?
