U.S. EBay Seller Refuses Canucks

from the ridiculous dept

First Freedom Fries, and now using eBay to knock people who live in countries who don’t support the current war in Iraq. It seems people are going a little overboard directing “blame” for their political views towards people or things that really have nothing to do with the issues at hand. Doesn’t seem like the most productive solution. An American eBay seller has told a Canadian buyer it won’t honor his high bid on a laser printer on eBay because Canada doesn’t support the war against Iraq. Of course, the seller has the right to not sell their product (though, it seems like a bad business decision), but this certainly seems like an odd (and somewhat useless) way to make a point.
