Get Real! eBay bans sales of supernatural potions

Snake oil salesmen who used to do their business out of the back of a wagon have found an online outlet for their goods in the digital age and apparently, they're becoming a problem.

Starting at the end of this month, eBay will begin taking down ads selling magic spells, potions and hexes in an effort begin enforcing their new ban on sales of the "supernatural."

Soledad O'Brien and the Starting Point team discuss the company's decision on Starting Point this morning.
