eBay in human trafficking scandal

Online auction site eBay have been implicated in human trafficking, offering to sell women into slavery.

It is not known how many slave auctions the site has hosted, although with the amount of advertising they have put out through Google it is thought to be quite a few.

No-one from Google or eBay was available to comment, but we urge visitors not to click on eBay links similar to the one below.

Update

We would like to point out that neither eBay or Message-in-a-bottle are involved in human trafficking as this seems to have escaped the grasp of some people.

Having received a much nicer letter from those concerned we have obscured part of this image. We're not completely unreasonable here.
