Everyone read about how ebay removed my charity auction where the money was going to go to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Ebay has a program where you may list an auction and have a percentage of the proceeds of your auction dollars go to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
I had 2 auctions listed, one of them having 50% of my auction dollars that I generated to go to the victims of Hurricane Katrina via the American Red Cross. The 2nd auction had 10% of the auction dollars that I generated going to the victims of Hurricane Katrina that auction was taken down as well. Since I was uncertain how much auction dollars after the percentage was taken I would have left over I have decided to probably give more of the left over money to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina as well meaning if I brought in $100 at the end of auction and I would have at least $50 left over I was going to give more of that money to the victims as well.
Needless to say eBay removed both auctions that I had listed where the final auction dollars would be going to help the people of Hurricane Katrina. I have their email stating so. Many people were watching this auction to see its outcome well they took it down.
Ain't that good of them. Me a small person trying to help someone in another state by giving the money I would have gotten out of my personal belongings only for them to remove my sale.
