Newly Listed on March 19, 2007 *****On March 22, 2007 we had a telephone conversation with a member of eBay's Trust and Safety team. He expressed his personal dismay over the sales below and said he would discuss it with those in charge of "policing" this area of sales. He gave us a special email address to register our concerns. We did. eBay responded with a form email. It said that they take these concerns very seriously. Not seriously enough to remove these listings. Of 63 listings of clearly identifiable First Class Relics eBay removed only 13 auctions. Of the 63 only 6 ended with no sale. Forty four were concluded with a profit for the relic sellers and a profit for eBay. N 290095819318 Baroque Reliquary with 31 Relics of the Saints.
