UPI Quirks in the News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)Online auction site eBay was forced to halt bidding for New Zealand, after an Australian man offered the country for sale.

The island nation in the South Pacific was described as having very ordinary weather, and bidding opened at 1 cent, The Australian reported Friday.

More than 22 bids were posted, with one potential buyer offering $2,300, before eBay noticed and withdrew the country from its listings.

Clearly New Zealand is not for sale, said Daniel Feiler, eBay's Australian spokesman.

Feiler said mostly household items were offered for sale, but occasionally quirky items were posted on the site and had to be removed.
