But, if trade in ivory is banned, doesn’t that mean Yahoo is breaking the law by allowing it to be sold on the website?

@Do the hustle It's banned only in certain countries, it can still be sold legally in Japan and other countries. I would never buy anything made from ivory. To kill elephants to near extinction for their tusks is not right.

I wonder if the ban includes antiques (not fakes) that has some documentation of proof?
