Student Leah Levin-Martins’ whose dreams was to climb the Mount Kilimanjaro for charity, put up a 4 days eBay auction to fund for her trip. She was offering a date to the highest bidder.

Leah’s auction were bidded up to £100 and 17 people had bookmarked the page, and she was expecting more heated bids when nearing the auction end date.

But all hopes were dashed when the listing was pulled down by eBay just Monday last week.

eBay said on an email to her:

“We appreciate that you chose eBay to list the following auction-style listing…

“[But] sellers are not permitted to offer or solicit services on the eBay site that are illegal, sexual in nature or that breach eBay’s User Agreement. You’re not allowed to list “virtual” relationships on eBay.”

On another note,

In 2004 a Dulwich student sold her virginity on the internet to pay for university, initially holding an auction on eBay before it withdrew her offer.

hmmmm…
