Guys, my previous auction for the crazy witch spell had to be relisted because I used the word “shit” and some poor loser with too much time on his/her hands couldn’t handle my extreme punk rock raditude so it was removed.
Here’s the link to the new auction. Sorry to those who bid already! Ya gotta bid again.
Here’s the conversation I had with eBay customer support.
That’s bullshit. I was considering putting up a listing to sell the filthiest insult I could think of, but I don’t see any way to write it without including some examples of my previous work (so people know I’m legit). So there goes my Dragon CON drinking money. Bummer.
Post the link of the fake thing you told him about at the end so we can go laugh at it. :P
Sometimes I think the only way to stay sane would be to move to another planet and a find a way to keep all the assholes out. Anyone making any progress on that?
@the Procrastinatrix: J*st *s* * l*t *f *st*r*sks .
@the Procrastinatrix: I think the link is to the aforementioned Wiccans selling “nicer asses and love potions.”
The ebay conversation could not have ended any better. Win.
Hold that thought: I have a feeling you won’t get anywhere with filing a complaint against those listings.
eBay has an entire section of their site devoted to the metaphysical: http://everythingelse.shop.ebay.com/Metaphysical-/19266/i.html
Hope s/he doesn’t hit the listing anything because of the word “ass”. Granted, shit is a stronger expletive but s/he sounds like the kind who enjoys picking gnat-“doody” out of pepper.
They’re worried about making Ebay “safe”, and this is how they decide to go about it? Well, I’m glad they’ve got their priorities straight…
uh, I’m assuming you sent some sort of email or something? That looks like a conversation w/ a chat bot if I’ve ever seen one…
@ryk: not neccesarily, they’re usually extremely strict about what you can say in customer service. I did a lot of phone and email support, and every word you spat out had to be from script on the phone, and emails were all form. There was still a person physically there reading what you say, but all they can do is press a button like a good monkey to generate a response.
@wayne23: You just have to make sure that all the assholes get on the B Ark!
Wow, a whole industry I never heard of! And in the freaky world of eBay it’s ok to post soft porn to advertise ‘Sex Slave Ultimate Spell’, but not ok to say ‘shit’? Oh, and here’s the fine print:
@sunioc: eh, maybe. It just seemed to me that there were no direct responses to her questions, so I thought it was a chat bot.
anyways, how do you sell items that have expletives in the title, like certain books, movies, music, etc.
And are they allowed to post photos depicting those items, or do they have to photoshop little black rectangles in?
@hamertime: Minus 1 point for informing me of this terrible place. KILL THE MESSENGER!
>_>
<_<
@hamertime:
If you look nothing on that page has any bids, well some stuff has a few incense and jewelery. But all the spells have 0 bids.
Some of this stuff is great:

Banks, bars & clubs, hunting, animal tracking & pet stains, etc.
A must for any ghost hunter
@rider: Don’t forget libraries! Remember, no human would ever stack books this way.
@Buzz Parsec:
To relive found memories of youth and to revisit the woo that started me on the path to where I am now. I’ve recently started rewatching the orignal In Search Of…
I need to take notes because it is full of great quotes.
@dahduh: I love the fine print.
At least it doesn’t appear that anyone is buying.
Sweet! But I hope the money raised goes toward research into how to really get me a robotic arm.
Ebay is wacky, but have you been to Etsy to check out the magical crap being sold there? At least you can get an ugly piece of glass to contain your woo: http://www.etsy.com/listing/53817430/bottle-spell
Or, for the price of printer ink and a dollar store candle, you can make bank off of magic candles: http://www.etsy.com/listing/42297663/psychic-vision-spell-candle-2×3-pillar
