I never thought Ebay and/or Kijiji were ever a good place to find a reputable breeder anyway. Does anybody suppose they partnered up with HSUS because they thought that would make them look good?
This is a subject that upsets me horribly.
I didn't know eBay allows the sale of live animals or studding arrangements. Personally, I don't like the idea of using eBay for this.

eBay is a private entity and can make whatever selling rules they like. Animals are not their focus, they are not experts, and animal trade is a thorny business, so I wouldn't be surprised that they turned to HSUS for assistance for lack of an alternative, or HSUS offered it. I think the better alternative would be for eBay to stay away from live animals or everything related.
