Baby put up for sale on EBay back at home

BERLIN - German authorities have returned a baby to his parents after agreeing that their offer to sell him on EBay was just a joke gone awry.

Prosecutor Johannes Kreuzpointer confirmed Thursday that investigators have concluded that there was no attempt at child trafficking.

Neither the 23-year-old mother nor 24-year-old father have been identified.

In an EBay posting on May 24, they offered to sell their "nearly new" baby for one euro, the equivalent of about C$1.50, saying it had "gotten too loud."

No bids were received in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was online before it was taken down.
