EBay has decided that the capitalist highroad might not be the best path to take in the debate over online Live 8 concert ticket sales.
The auction site has worked to pull all sales of Live 8 tickets after first saying it was a consumer's right to try and get the best price for such a possession. People sent in more than 2m text messages, hoping to win a spot at the charity concert to be held next month London's Hyde Park. Hundreds of lucky winners put their tickets on eBay with some looking for close to $1,000 per ticket.
Earlier today, eBay scoffed at the notion that it should remove the tickets, saying it would gladly donate the pennies in fees generated from any Live 8 ticket sales to the effort.
