Over the course of 7 months, researchers found 454 human skulls for sale on eBay. While eBay had only allowed skulls for sale for “medical purposes,” researchers Halling and Seidemann found that 12% were not even medical skulls. While the bones were being sold out of several different countries, most came from within the US.
