E-commerce giant eBay banned sales of ivory on the eve of the release of a report by the International Fund for Animal Welfare showing that online trade in wildlife products poses a significant threat to elephants and other endangered species.   

EBay's decision, announced Monday on its blog, will bar sales of all types of ivory in the company's e-marketplaces worldwide effective January 1, 2009.
