I personally bought teacher books on ebay last year, and when I tried to resell them this year my auction was ended. In reference to students cheating: Is it really ebay's job to police students who may want to cheat, and who will find a way to do it eventually anyway?
There has to be a solution here that will benefit everyone involved. Banning the sale of teachers editions due to a few students cheating should not affect the huge proportion of people who use ebay as their sole source for buying their children's curriculum. Brainstorm, ebay, you're smarter than this!
Teacher's editions are very necessary for home schooling. eBay does not need to become the "book police". There are other problems on the eBay site that actually need to be addressed. As for kids that might buy teacher's editions, their homework might look better, but the tests will tell the story.
Homeschooler's need to buy and sell the teachers Edition. I have bought them for my family in the past from e-bay and I would like to sell them when I am finished.
I support this petition because Ebay is discriminating against hs'ers.This policy won't stop us but it will put a damper on the ones that used the TE for guidance to teach their children.Since the policy has been put in I have not shopped with Ebay and will not until something is done!
Just because a few people cheat the system does not mean all should be punished. Please allow homeschoolers (that are recognized in every state by the government to be valid) to trade materials on ebay.
Please keep allowing us to buy our homeschool books on ebay. For many of us, this is our way of making money and clearing out no longer needed books. Isn't there some way of assuring this is a homeschool mom and not a student? Thanks so much, I LOVE EBAY!!!
If you discriminate against homeschoolers in this fashion, we'll have to take our business elsewhere. EBay can choose to benefit from homeschooler interchange, or can lose us to other auction sites.
