Is there a C*-algebra whose Pedersen ideal is not proper?
In [1, 5.6.3] Pedersen states without proof or reference that there are non-unital C*-algebras whose Pedersen
ideal is the whole algebra.
Does anyone know where can I find such an example?
Is it ...

Is every 2-sided ideal in a C*-algebra hereditary?
If $A$ is a C*-algebra, we say that a subset $I\subseteq A$ is hereditary if
$$
0\leq x \leq y \in I \Rightarrow x\in I.
