<p>[QUOTE="lettow, post: 1287783, member: 6986"]Please tell me something I did not already know. I understand that Ebay gets to set their own rules. The entire point of this discussion (from those that understand the issue) is that Ebay's current prohibition for these items was put in place at a time when their sale was illegal. The sale is no longer illegal so Ebay's original reason for prohibiting them is no longer valid. They have decided not to change the rule which is their perogative. Their reason for not changing the rule has more to do with corporate inertia than anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>My comment that you responded to was directed at those in this discussion who object to the sale of USDA Food Stamps on Ebay because they consider it welfare fraud or as taxpayers have a problem with someone selling their benefits for a profit. I have a problem with that also if that is what is going on. But it is not. The paper coupons have not been distributed for years and are no longer valid. Current benefit recipients are not making money on Ebay selling paper USDA Food Coupons. There are those in this discussion who obviously believe this is what is happening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
