We would like you to revisit your policies about allowing photos depicting minor children - specifically child actor/models - to be sold on eBay in private auctions.

The "owner" of one highly trafficed account TVTEENS - is currently in prison for child molestation. He is likely the photographer for many of these photos, although that does not give him legal rights for these sales. His "former?" business partner allegedly has account TEENSTARS -which was very active until apparently he was identified as a manger/publicist in Los Angeles.

In most cases, these photos sell for large amounts of money (many in the $200 - $300 range) not because of the celebrity of the child, but because of the pedophile and boy lover interest. The sales price is in direct correlation to the state of undress. A large majority of these photos depict boys shirtless and in poses specifically of interest to pedophiles.

This is monetary and image exploitation of these individuals, while the sellers hide their identities. Falsifying seller information is also a violation of eBay policies.

The undersigned, which includes families in the entertainment industry who are interested in their children's internet safety, ask that you investigate these particular sellers for compliance with your own requirements, (TVTEENS and TEENSTARS) and change your policies to either not allow these sales, or to at least not allow them to be sold in private auctions.

Attached is one recent example of a current auction. This is one of approximately 10 - 20 that are sold each week.

This practice is aiding and abetting at the very least. EBay needs to set an ethical example, or be made an example in a court of law. Private anything usually shows that there are things to hide.

Well done to whoever started this petition because Ebay can't let people get away with selling things like that. This world is so perverted now that nowhere is safe and it is about time somebody stamps down on sick child porn pics. I thought Ebay had policies like that, but obviously they are making money by paedophiles visiting to buy those pics. Good thinking from whoever did this petition,at least I will be alert of all this and hopefully Ebay will take action.

Well... Child porn is disgusting and I wish that there was no such thing as it, but let's face it-eBay is a huge site and often the items for sale could have code names or something like that to prevent people catching on to what they are actually selling. They would never manage to get rid of all of it. Oh, by the way, I don't consider that picture you have shown us to be porn... But I guess that if you did, this petition would be shut down. So, I think that the moral basis of this is sound. But is it practical? That is the question.

I find the petition ludicrous and stupid, but the only way to state my opinion was to sign it. Geez... the paranoia is making some morons' brains to run wild, indeed.
