NEWS Kay Hammond, the internet entrepreneur intent on auctioning herself to the highest bidder, has moved her sale to QXL.com after eBay kicked her out. eBay executives decided Hammond's move to sell herself online as a bride to the highest bidder was immoral. However, a spokeswoman from QXL said: "We found this auction not to be in violation of our terms and conditions." She added: "It is not for us to judge morality in this case." QXL is set to profit from Hammond's wedding as the company levies a 1.5 per cent 'success fee' on the completion of any sale. By the time bidding on eBay was blocked it had reached £10m. Hammond is 24, has blonde hair and blue eyes, stands at 5'4" and boasts vital statistics of 34, 28, 34. The first bid went up at 11:19(GMT) today from a man named 'Dadge' who met the reserve price of £250,000. According to the QXL site, candidates must be male, a British citizen living in the UK, aged 24-35, and meet basic health requirements. Hammond was unavailable for comment, but will appear tonight on Channel 4 being interviewed by Richard and Judy.
