eBay Realizes Live Animals Not a Great Idea After All

Verne Kopytoff writes on SFGate.com:

A plan by eBay Inc. to allow live pets to be listed for sale on the online marketplace has been suspended after eliciting a barrage of criticism from the company's users.

The plan, revealed by an eBay manager on a message board Friday afternoon, was to create a live pets classifieds category early next year.

But after more than 2,000 users chimed in with feedback, most of it critical, eBay changed course. On Monday, the San Jose company said that it no longer intends to allow pets to be listed on the Web site.
