| British girl banned from selling granny on eBay |
| 2009-10-01 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] A 10-year-old British girl has been barred from trying to sell her granny on eBay, who she complained was "cuddly" but "annoying," the auction website said Wednesday. Zoe Pemberton wrote a light-hearted listing to sell her 61-year-old grandmother Marion Goodall, of Clacton, southeastern England, but eBay said the advert breached human trafficking regulations. "Obviously we have rules about the selling of people," said an eBay spokeswoman. "We had to take it down but it was quite amusing. "The little girl had described her grandmother as 'annoying' but had gone on to say she liked crosswords and was 'cuddly' and there were quite a few offers." |
