The Register reports that Shanghai police are searching for someone called Chuangxinzhe Yongyuan (forever innovator) who offered babies for sale on eBay-owned Chinese site Eachnet.
Ads placed on October 16th offered infants from the impoverished province of Henan for 28,000 yuan (£1,950) for a boy and 13,000 yuan (£900) for a girl.
According to China Daily, 50 people persused the offer before it was removed. Eachnet spokesman Tang Lei told Reuters the ads – or specifically the word “baby” – had slipped the site’s security net “because of the large number of baby products pitched on the site”. As a result, Eachnet will now scrutinise every posting.
