Ivory Keytops Violate eBay Wildlife Policy
By Paul Brennan

Another example of political correctness gone rampant.  Also an example
of ignorance.  Your listing must have been reported as a violation to
get removed.  That means that the informant is ignorant of old ivory,
as is eBay.

Ivory harvested prior to the international bans (which I agree with)
is exempt from this sort of stupidity.  If it were a new piano, I would
say, by all means remove the listing.  But your piano is close to 100
years old.  Old ivory is a feature that should be mentioned, I would
fight them over this.

Regards,
Paul Brennan
