| eBay Scrambles Egg Sellers' Listings
You might not think of eBay as a marketplace for eggs, but some sellers who raise poultry rely on it to reach buyers who are looking for hatching eggs. But according to these "chicken sellers," as one described herself, eBay closed down hundreds of auctions on April 3rd because the sellers offered to send the merchandise via Priority Mail rather than Overnight Express. A seller who wished to remain anonymous called the shipping policy absurd, "because a freshly laid egg is NOT alive until it is incubated. We were not given any warning AT ALL.

Online bachelor auctions himself
A bachelor who auctioned his hand in marriage on eBay only did it to win back the one true love of his life - an ex-girlfriend from Croydon who captured his heart five years ago. Mark Broughton, from Oxford, took the drastic step of literally putting himself on the online market at the end of January in the hope of tracking down the girl, Natalie. However, the auction ended in heartbreak for 37-year-old Mark after a hoaxer won the bid for his hand in marriage for just £17. The former parking attendant has contacted the Croydon Guardian in a last-ditch attempt to find Natalie, who was working as a hospital receptionist the last time he saw her. He said: "Me and Natalie met over the internet seven years ago and I would travel down to see her at weekends.
