[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1421812, member: 29581"]You're right they did. Discrimination against sex, race, religious affiliation, creed, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. However, a business can still choose to reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. As long as the decision to refuse that service is not based on, or could be construed as discriminatory in nature. eBay can make policy as they see fit. If people, sellers mostly, don't like the policy they can go elsewhere to sell their wares. Those who are up in arms about this change seem to be under the impression that it's a right to use eBay, when in fact the use is controlled and subject to eBay's Terms of Service, and as such users must agree to those terms and abide by them. One person mentioned the Sherman Anti Trust Act of 1890 and what eBay is doing is illegal under that act. That's a very loose interpretation of the act. I don't see eBay as a monopoly on anything. If they went after Heritage and Teletrade, and any other online auction site specializing in coins, and tried taking them over in order to be the only online auction site, I could see possibly the Sherman act coming into play. But that hasn't happened, nor will it IMO.[/QUOTE]
