E-Bay Alternatives Found By Homeschoolers

The owners of a magazine targeting homeschoolers' needs say they are disappointed eBay stopped allowing the sales of homeschool curriculum teacher's guides, but there are alternatives.

The internet trading behemoth recently announced that any teacher's guides for homeschool curricula no longer would be allowed on its auction site, setting up a storm of protests from the parents whose money supports the estimated $1 billion annual homeschooling industry

Carter said several of the sites that do allow homeschoolers to exchange materials include, Homeschool Blogger County Fair, This Little Piggy Stays Home, Waggle Pop, Homeschool Classifieds, Homeschool Christian, and My Homeschool Store.

The Home School Legal Defense Association said it was aware of the situation.
