Dear all,
Today you have made it very clear to us that our previous decision to allow the sale of LIVE 8 tickets on eBay.co.uk was not one that the vast majority of you agreed with. As a result of this clear signal from the Community we have decided to prohibit the resale of LIVE 8 tickets on the site.
Although the resale of tickets is not illegal, we think that this is absolutely the right thing to do. We have listened to the views you expressed on the discussion boards and in the many emails you have sent to us. We shall be working over the next few hours to remove all LIVE 8 ticket listings from the site.
Thanks for taking the time to contact us and make your views heard,
Regards,
Doug McCallum
Managing Director, eBay (UK) Ltd.
On behalf of the whole eBay.co.uk team

beast5680:
or the fact they were getting lots of bad press made them pull them me thinks
Guy90:
Can they actually halt a sale because others objected to it. It may be in bad taste but if it's not illegal or against Ebay rules I can't see how they can just pull it.
As the tickets were up for grabs, you just knew some would appear on eBay.
muddyweb:
They can do what they like Guy... it's their website.
If they had sufficient feedback that they should be removed, then eBay can disallow them.
landyman Ash:
Either way im amazing people are so greedy.
If I won some and could not go, why not flog them and offer the money to the charity?
What is wrong with people today???? P***es me off!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
