Well, I figured it wouldn't hurt for one more person to report them as well, so I did too. Thanks for letting us know.

How do you report them? I don't think I have ever done that on e-bay before.

What is up with people all of a sudden putting turtles on ebay? I found the three soft shelled ones and now this one! Maybe it was the same buyer....

Unless people take the time on ebay to read the rules, they can easily get confused by them. It is ok to sell fish, hermits, shrimp and many other living water beings so it would be *logical* to think one could sell a turtle.

Many prices for these animals are quite high, along with high shipping because many sellers will only ship express.
