JK ROWLING called on her millions of fans yesterday to lobby the internet auction site eBay to stop selling copies of Harry Potter books and posters bearing forged signatures.
In a quietly scathing attack on one of the web’s biggest success stories, which recorded £133.5 million first-quarter profits of this year, Ms Rowling said eBay appeared “unable” to prevent sellers conning fans.
Writing on her own website, the author advised people looking for rare or signed editions to avoid eBay and other similar auction houses. “I would be delighted if the online community of Harry Porter fans canvassed eBay directly, asking that they might be protected against this exploitation,” she wrote. “You might succeed where I have so far failed.”
