Kiss Ass Fails - But "Haunted Doll" scam WORKS LIKE A CHARM

The 21st Century is...more like the fucking 14th Century.

Not only do we have crazy Muslims beheading professors and bloggers who DARE to teach other religions, or say that homosexuality isn't a sin, we have mindless Christians, smelly stupid pushy Orthodox Jews, perverted Mormons, and...a whole load of gullible shit brains who still believe in ghosts and witches and whatever sci-fi garbage they want to buy at a memorabilia show.

Remember THIS jerk pretending to be a woman?

This same scammer got some fool to spend $36 on a charity shop doll and a few Tarot cards.

There are suckers born every minute, and if this clown didn't have such poor writing skills, the item might've fetched a much better price. $36 for a doll, even WITHOUT the ridiculous story, isn't bad.

Every day eBay is loaded with scammers offering potions, lucky charms, witch amulets, magic crystals, etc. Ebay's attitude is caveat emptor. "We're just the landlord, we just happened to rent to criminals, frauds, hucksters and low life scum."

If you want some fun, type in "ghost amulet" or some other silly term. Check out maniacs who offer "real rat bones" as having magic powers, a "burnt scroll" encased in glass, or a wicca "success magic potion."

Ebay has a category called "intangibles." Ha ha ho ho hee hee. Sellers who put their items up as "classified ads" in the "intangibles" section not only can cheat bidders, they are immune from refund demands: "eBay buyer protection only covers tangible goods. It is a violation of eBay policy for a seller to sell intangible goods on the regular eBay site. They must sell these items in the Classified Ad section which also does not have any buyer protection. If you try to open a case, eBay will see that the item is an intangible and will not proceed with the case."

Indeed, you might remember when Ebay's twisted sister, Paypal, refused to refund people who bought premium memberships for Megaupload. Lovable Nazi Kim Dotcom, when he realized the jig was up and he'd have to hide in New Zealand, offered "bargain" memberships, like a full year for $29.95. Whatever. Within a month, Megaupload was gone, and Paypal said, "So what, so he offered a year and you only got a month. This is an intangible item. NO REFUND."

The only "rule" on eBay, and it's up to interpretation by some zombie sitting at a desk in Utah, involves "a listing for intangible or invisible items, such as ghosts, air, demons, or souls." You can't outright cheat somebody by saying that in exchange for $20 you'll pray for them, or for $50 say magic words that will keep ghosts away, etc. etc.

But claim that you've got a "haunted" enema kit, a sprig of parsley that will get you laid if you put it in your target's twat, or "very smelly" old shoes that will make demons weep...you just might make some money.
