    Don't sell me anything on Ebay

    Please i beg you dont sell me anything,

    the last three sellers, who,have been kind enough to let me buy their stuff have all had deaths in the family and cant post on time! i feel so guilty that i have caused the deaths, but i bet that if someone else had won the auction they still would have snuffed it!

    No they wouldn't, they'd still be alive now, laughing and thinking great thoughts if it wasn't for you.

    Re: Don't sell me anything on Ebay

    it's just one of those things that randomly happens in life... noone can explain why.. it just does...

    all you can do is sleep it off...

    also with it being ebay.. i wouldn't take it too literally... as theres plenty of people that would play the sympathy card to stop you giving negative rep... it could be a load of BS... especially now as sellers can't retaliate against bad feedback...

    why the sympathy card?... because it works nearly every time...

    Obv in some cases it could be genuine.. so you have to tread lightly..

    Its not you, its ebay!... same thing happens to me and oddly enough deaths also occurring in their families too. I think its the curse of ebay.

    Lol, 3 times!

    Have you not thought of asking for proof

    'I don't care if your mums died, you havn't got broken legs so get down the post office' (copy and paste this in an email<<<)

    Puts you off using ebay with all these ridiculous stories.

    Re: Don't sell me anything on Ebay

    Dear j1979

    My name is President L Mbube

    I am sending you EMAIL to be very sorry. You see my MOTHER AND FAMILY passed away this year and have left me $1 000 000 000 000 in UNITED NATIONS bondings. I want to give you HALF as a sorry present for not sending you parcels. As you have sent me a SMALL DEPOSIT for the item you were wanting, all you need to do is send me your bank number and i will TRANSFER YOUR SHARE into your bank.

    Please do this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as i think my NEIGHBOURS are going to die soon too!

    Thank you and GOD BLESS

    Rest easy, j. It's not you. This happens to a lot of people.

    I reckon it must be EBay, because it never seems to happen if you buy locally and go to collect.

    Also, because of the above, it isn't just not buying from you, j. People ought to be very wary about selling on EBay, unless they've got surplus-to-requirements relatives ...... and even more careful about letting any of their relatives sell on Ebay. I was feeling the incipient onset of PERM (Premature Ebay Relative Mortality), so I've put Ebay on my firewall rules, and banned the wife from any more PERMs. I'm not having any of MY relatives sicking an Ebay death-curse on me. Oh, no. Do I look that stupid?
