Reading AuctionBytes: eBay UK Asks Members to Sign Fair Trade Petition

eBay UK is asking users to sign a petition against online trade barriers. The company told members through a post on its announcement board that the idea of a global trading platform, "where practically anyone could buy or sell practically anything," is under threat. eBay UK said brands are trying to block the sale of their products on online marketplaces and other websites - regardless of whether such items are new or second-hand, genuine or fake.

The petition calls on the European Commission to amend EU competition law to stop what eBay UK calls unfair trade practices. Members must be logged in to the site in order to sign the petition.
