is there ANOTHER eBay ???

[little leaf]

ok, I do not understand ? I see people all the time saying "I bought a fish on ebay, or a snail, or what ever-"
why do I not see ANY pets on ebay ? has anyone ever bought a LIVE thing on ebay ?

is there another ebay just for pets?

 

[Carlton]

I know you can buy plants on ebay. Maybe you saw some illegal items listed?

 

[ataraxia]

ebayclassifieds?

You got me curious, so I went to look. If you bring up eBay.com, there's a search window in which you can type "live fish" or "live reptiles" and all sorts of things come up.

I found lots of tropical fish and lots of crickets and roaches under those two searches. I didn't scroll down far enough to see if there were any actual live reptiles for sale; a search for live chameleons and live snakes didn't turn up any, though.

Wow. I would never have even thought of selling live animals on eBay.

Actually, it gives me the creeps . . . . you wouldn't know anything about your customer and how well-prepared they would be to take proper care of your animal! Ugh.

oh I know- I was not wanting to sell, but I saw a post of a person who bought walking sticks on ebay - and there are also praying mantis on there - I see some of these crazy bugs on here- and some say they got them from ebay - I have sold my art on ebay for about 10 yrs- and never knew you could buy critters on there - lol I want to buy a live UNICORN- if there is one out there, it will be on ebay

In the Uk Ebay is awesome...it's easy to find various insects like Indian walking sticks and all the usuals too......I even get a decent supply of Silkworms.....for pretty good prices too....
Maybe different in the US....it's sorta funny how you guys often assume everyone is in North America...there are a few other continents around the Earth....lol.......

They get the cool bugs and the cool chams. And compared to us they get their feeders cheap!! It is amazing I love some of my friends across the pond. But hey, Monty my god(jack)son lives across the pond.

OK, good reminder . . . I too do often post as if everyone is in the US, as Canadian friends on another forum point out. I try to remember to do degrees in F and C but sometimes I fail. What's silly is DH & I have a number of host students from around the world! You'd think that would help us remember!

It's interesting how differently eBay (and other Internet sales companies) operate around the world--Indian walking sticks? Cool! I just checked eBay here and found that someone in the UK is shipping Eurycantha calcarata nymphs to the US and Canada as well as in the UK . . . Wow.

 

[pssh]

Just be careful, exotic walking sticks are illegal in the US and you could get in quite a bit of trouble if customs found out you had some shipped into the country.

I've only seen fish and insects (usually feeders or educational insects) sold on ebay.

First off, Natural Selection works for all but humans!

As for the "7" continents...here's a little depressing tidbit...

LOL.......We still have The Falklands too....plenty of oil there, so I hear.....we certainly know how to spread 'Democracy' around the world and make sure we line our own pockets with gold while we do it......it's just a bit of a shame that there was so much blood too......
I like to get my hands dirty sometimes....but I'm not filthy enough to get involved in voting for politicians.......

Yeah I know what that's like in Ireland we can't get anything other than crickets locust mealworms and waxworms is love to be able to get more variety

Try to find some Indian walking sticks....they are cheap and easy and they breed good too......also sandrachameleon says they can form up to 30% of a chams diet......my tip for the day
