Amongst many items of considerable international heritage value, Egyptian antiquities, including some fine Predynastic vessels, have been sold on eBay over the last few years: "After months of negotiation, agreement was reached yesterday between the online auction site eBay, the British Museum, and the government's Museums, Libraries and Archives council, to control the booming trade in British antiquities on the site.
