ivory chips?
In Response To: ya just gotta love eBay sad ()

this makes me think it will include ivory chips:
".... Exceptions for some items with small amounts of ivory, such as pianos, will be made, though the items must have been made before 1900. Items that have a large amount of ivory, regardless of their age, will not be permitted for sale. These would include chess sets, ivory broaches and ivory jewelry...."

eBay seems to be doing this reluctantly. Banning the sales hurts their profit line. eBay goes all over the world, and there are many different rules in many jurisdictions. I feel they were 'forced" to do this to avoid lawsuits, etc

For quite a while eBay has banned ivory sales across national borders.

It won't be terribly hard to enforce, what with search engines for the word "ivory."
