A mate of mine told me ebay are thinking of banning the sale of wristbands..

Is this true ?

I hope so.

Call me cynical if you like, but Ill bet the majority of funds from bands sold on ebay never gets near the charities.

Kids, (my neice included) see these bands as a fashion statement now because celebrities wear them, so kids want the bands so they have the band, not because they support the causes behind it.

Some Ebay leeches are cashing in on this by selling coloured wristbands to people who believe their money is going to the good causes.

what are these bands all about, obviously for charity and the likes, but i never heard of them jus started seeing people i.e celebs wearing them

they are rubber bands, coloured depending on which charity your supporting


black and white one for racism, yellow for livestrong, blue for bullying etc... etc...


think they've kinda lost their meaning as most people seem to go for the colours that match what they are wearing rather than the charity they think is important.

either way, still money for good causes though.

The blue one makes me laugh, apparently it's for anti-bullying. According to my stepson, if you get seen wearing one at school you are likely to get beaten.

PS, is anyone else on here on the lookout for an anti-chav or anti-pikey one

"help save the orphaned donkeys, they are on fire"
