Ivory at bay
The online auction site eBay has promised to ban ivory sales after investigators found thousands of items made from elephant tusks on sale. However, the new policy goes into effect in January, 2009 and eBay will continue to allow antiques that contain only small amounts of ivory on the site, specifying that only items made before 1900 will qualify.
