Unbelievably (or not) that listing still remains, despite the fact that it clearly violates rules, and that very similar listings have been ended by ebay.
Furthermore, it appears ebay is censoring and/or attempting to hide or obscure the ongoing discussions of this real issue.
So much for the "Level Playing Field". It is non-existant. Even Google cannot find it on ebay.
This video deals with the listing for a cold-infected, used tissue being auctioned on the ebay site despite the numerous reasons why it should not be there.
I seriously and respectfully request Mr Leno. and Ms Johannson and/or any persons concerned to remove this listing, and for the bidders to all withdraw their bids and instead simply make their donations directly to the named charity.

I urge and advise everyone to complain vociferously to anywhere they can think of if this does not occur.
