Relative selling Christmas gift on ebay?

[G]

Your four year old will neither know nor care that her aunt is selling a gift she can't use, to get money she can use for other things. But I understand your hurt feelings, mainly because you spent your hard earned money on that gift. It's not necessarily rude so much as thoughtless on her part. Then again, maybe she's proving a point of her own here, that things she doesn't need or can't use will be sold on eBay. It's certainly something I would keep in mind for the future. Perhaps next Christmas you could consider drawing names within the family, setting a spending limit, etc or just exchanging cards.
