http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/te4sale/ eBay recently instituted a policy banning the sale of Teacher Edition educational materials. The primary reason for this policy, according to eBay, is that they cannot tell if the person buying the materials is a student that wishes to cheat. As a result of this policy, eBay has cancelled many of its member's auctions. eBay members that are selling these Teacher Edition materials are typically homeschool parents who are selling complete homeschool curriculum packages (which include the homeschool teacher reference materials) to other homeschool parents, as well as people selling antique educational books from other eras. Homeschoolers often rely on selling their used curriculum in order to pay for the next year's educational materials. eBay's policy makes this practice nearly impossible on their website. By signing this petition, you are acknowledging that you agree to the following: * This eBay policy is not logical, is unfair, and should be changed to allow legitimate homeschool materials and educational antiquities to be sold on the eBay website. * If it is too difficult for eBay to enforce the policy given the allowances above, then the policy should be eliminated altogether. * By its very nature, this eBay policy is prejudiced against homeschoolers.

I had no idea TE's were forbidden as I did a search and there were 11 active TE auctions and 101 TE's for sale on Ebay Stores. I am just sorry to see that this petition has gone on so long and Ebay has ignored it. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/te4sale/#sig3845524 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST This is just not fair to the homeschoolers. And your policy is not what you intended it to be. Do you really think a kindergarten math curriculum that has no grading can be used by kids the wrong way c'mon! This is out of control and the homeschoolers feel like you just have some people that don't support hsing. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/te4sale/#sig3845070 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST we're selling homeschool supplies, are hs kids really going to buy the answer sheets for their schoolwork~give me a break! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/te4sale/#sig3844808 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Ebay seems to be targeting homeschoolers. This is very unfair. This policy needs to be changed. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/te4sale/#sig3844655 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/te4sale/#sig3844616 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I am a homeschool mom who needs Ebay for my curriculum needs. I have a limited income. Please reconsider your policy of no teacher editions. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/te4sale/#sig3844553 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST
