EBay relics

Apparently, one can buy relics on EBay. How do I know? Because there is a Catholic group organizing a boycott of Ebay over the issue. The group is called "The International Crusade for Holy Relics".

Here is the website. You can host a veneration or chat with "relic man".

What is weird about this is not so much the relics thing which has a long and ,yes, abused history in the church but the mathcing of current technology and language with such an ancient practice. Relic man?
