Is it Possible to Insult the Intelligence of an EBAY BIDDER?

If you check eBay, especially their idiotic "something weird" section, or the other sections loaded up with psychics and "life counselors" and whores selling photos of themselves, you wonder:

HOW many suckers are born every minute?

There are jerks out there who do "mystery item" auctions. Ebay confirms this is illegal, but they also acknowledge that if this stuff is reported, it's a low priority. "We have MILLIONS of auctions..."

The idea is that instead of bothering eBay, you should just leave a negative IF you've bought something that's a fraud. Let eBay make its profit, after all.

Just leave a negative. Maybe it'll warn others, but maybe others will not even be literate enough to notice a seller doesn't have 100% positive feedback, and buy anyway.

I've noticed feedback on these "mystery item" and "Grab bag" weasels. Somebody will say, "Oh, great mystery item!" Someone else: "This cures me of buying mystery items." Someone else: "All I got was a stick of gum and a paper clip."

Here's a seller with a variety of cons, including the one above.

Yeah, some rap-homey-spic is having fun on eBay this week. Har har. He got hisself an alias, and he's gonna rip off da fools. Here's a pine cone, y'all. Here? It's not a twig, it's a MAGIC WAND!

Maybe he'll get a friend to shill and win the "magic wand" and rave about it, and that'll fool some other chump into buying one.

Best of all, he offers his blessings, as you saw from the opening screen cap. Some half-breed halfwit making finger signals. Being cool. Mr. Trouble. A homey. Ebay technically doesn't allow charity "Go Fund Me" shit. You can't say "Give me $5. Bid and I'll send you a thank you card." BUT...you might be able to get away with "Pay me and I'll sit and think a nice thought about you." Ebay has a rule against selling "intangibles," but they specifically say "ghosts, air, demons or souls." You can't pretend that for $50 a demon will go slay your enemy. But for a buck you might be able to say you'll be "blessed" by a greasy sub-human smirking chain-wearing bastard whose mama barks like a dog.
