I have bought many of my materials from ebay but If I cannot get the teacher's edition why should I bother to shop on ebay.... I was looking forward to selling my materials when I was finished with them NOW I cannot because everything has Teacher's Edition with it. That is the purpose of buying whole curriculum.
By keeping this policy, Ebay will lose MANY customers, as we will have to find another space to sell/buy the TEs, and going to more than one site is not going to cut it.
What a silly thing to ban teacher's editions from being sold on ebay. I have purchased many teacher's editions at the last minute and it has been a blessing to me. I need that help to teach my child because I am not a super genious. I would hate to go to other companies to buy these items and ebay will lose business. Besides if my child were purchasing this to cheat, I would find out. There are only five children in our "class" and when they are cheating it always shows.
Ebay has demonstrated by their sale of other items that they do not desire to be the morality police. Therefore, they should leave well enough alone or provide a separate category for homeschool related materials which would allow for some time of verification. Thank you.
People should be free to buy what they need to teach their children.
Also, your company should be valuing the idea of people buying whatever is of interest to them. Fuzzy dice, or teachers ed's, let US choose please!
This is how I homeschool my kids--I need this to be able to afford it. God forbid I have to send them to public school where I live! I definitely support the petition.
The no "teachers" material policy hurts the homeshcool community tremendously, as most of us rely on purchasing used or discounted curriculm, largely purchased on Ebay. It is totally unfair!
