eBay UK Asks Members to Sign Fair Trade Petition

[eBayNews]

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 ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

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.

I like this bit:
"But thanks to our work with 31,000 other rights owners, only 0.15% of listings last year were detected or
reported as potentially counterfeit."

I havent signed, but isnt it in our interests to sign it??? Those rights owners bother everyone, not just counterfeiters....(take my real used handbag this week, takedown, ridiculous)

I think i could win that petition for them, Ive got enough alias names to fill a page.
