bear_sad  Well,I had my bear ,Finian(my avatar) listed on ebay with the intention of donating half of the auction to the victims of hurricane Katrina but I violated ebay rules and they pulled my auction.I just wanted to help,I don't have any spare cash(we are having a bad summer but I know I am blessed and things could be much worse) so I thought this was  good idea.I don't blame ebay at all,I obviously am in the wrong but I am still very sad about it.I will find another way to help.

Surely you didn't violate rules intentionally.  Check on relisting!

Thanks Rita and Deb. This is what I did wrong(I guess)


  We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what part of your listing is not permitted.

Your listing(s) contains the following information:

Please take note!!! Half the final bidding price will be donated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina so please bid if you love Finian and would like to help this wonderful cause<br>
When I get it figured out,I will list again.

Shari,
Your heart was in the right place.  It is too bad ebay has such wierd rules...it is like they are getting too big for thier britches.    They rejected one of my listings because my bears name was "cookie" and you cannot have that word in your text description.  I also had another listing axed because I mentioned I had a website...I did not even say what my wesite address even was.

I think some of thier rules are a bit over the top.  Helping others.  How can that possibly be wrong.

I would try again.  He is lovely and will surely find a good home.
