Opportunity to Take Part in Illicit Export of Antiquity via EBay - Official


A disgruntled antiquity whistleblower has found out that EBay once again does nothing to dispel the impression that the US based firm is apparently not at all concerned about legality:
"Yup, eBay removed my feedback about it being illegal to export antiquities from Turkey and  ": 
Egyptian Ancient Greek Papyrus Fragment As You Seen (sic) İn The Picture
Egyptian Ancient Greek language papyrus roll Probably BC 300 "UN OPENED" Very nice and interesting piece % 100 Original 
What on earth does "unopened" mean in the case of a flat piece of papyrus? That seems to be grounds for withdrawing it for misleading description. Now, there is a "report item" link on the right, click it and see if you can report it as anything other than "used cosmetics", which is the only option the drop-down box gave me. Ridiculous.

and now: "So Why Does eBay Help Antiquities Smugglers?" PhDiva Tuesday, October 15, 2013 with the news that seller "Robert" (eh?) wants to "meet her in London" ("you will be so happy, that's for sure" and "you are very nice girl").
