The report was embargoed until Tuesday, but that restriction was dropped Monday night after eBay announced a ban on ivory sales, beginning Jan. 1, 2009.
The report had singled out eBay as the top offender among online sales companies, saying the company is responsible for two-thirds of the world's online trade in wildlife products.
Not surprisingly, ivory from elephants was the most common product being sold illegally online. Of all the products that were tracked in the survey, ivory comprised 73 per cent.
More than 4,000 elephant ivory products were listed on eBay during the probe. In one case, a pair of elephant tusks sold for more than $21,000.
