Wowā€¦ I sure hope eBay changes their policy. Iā€™ve seen some high feedbacks of the bidders and they are risking being banned by bidding. Iā€™m sure the seller wonā€™t be there long too :(. Sometimes to protect our Lord, we have to risk much here on Earth. What we gain is much moreā€¦

Warmest regards,

One of those high-feedback bidders was me. If Iā€™m banned then so be it.
 
:tiphat: This person has my respect. EBay does not! I am so glad that I have never had anything to do with them. Of course, after all this nonsense, I wish I had an account to Cancel!!!
 
Someone zap this to Spirit Daily!:clapping: :clapping: :dancing: This is classic!
 
I wrote this to the seller where the auction is almost $1.5 million!

I canā€™t believe eBay isnā€™t removing it. I think theyā€™re planning on suing her for the seller fees if she doesnā€™t pay to slap her in the face so I wrote her this, and hope she can get to it. Iā€™m sure sheā€™s getting bombarded with emails:

*Donā€™t worry about eBay making you responsible for this auction.I guarantee the people bidding have no intentions on paying and support you, so once this is over, wait a week and file a non-paying bidder. The bidder will get a mark against them, but they can get up to 3 before eBay will kick them out and youā€™re not under any obligation to leave them negative feedback. Then, eBay will be forced to refund your sellerā€™s fees. Iā€™m sure theyā€™re not removing the auction because they intend to slap you in the face with a lawsuit to get the money. Another thing you can do is before the last 12 hours remove the auction. Itā€™s in eBayā€™s rules that you have the RIGHT to remove an auction if itā€™s no longer available as long as there is more than 12 hours left. With eBay you need to KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
BTW, to those who read this, remember, bidding on eBay morals is like bidding on someoneā€™s bankruptcy debt. Youā€™ll end up in the negative because thereā€™s nothing there!Peace, Dianna www.novenarosary.com

*Itā€™s not like eBay to allow these auctions to go on for 4 days. You arenā€™t allowed to sell items like personalities and itā€™s in their own rules! The only reason theyā€™re not pulling it is because they plan to get back at the high bidder and seller, I guarantee it. I hope she follows my advice and ends the auction early before the last 12 hours. That way it gets maximum exposure, but eBay can do nothing but charge her for the original listing at 99 cents which is like a quarter.

BTW, did anybody read my post about GreenZap as an alternative to Paypal?

Way to go! I have cancelled but they have not finalized my acoount. I did check to see if people are still posting in the collectibles messae bnoard, and there are 150 responses.

Just out of curiosity, could they try to collect a fee on a bogus item like this is? I am not putting anything past ebay at this point. I am sure they just wish it would die down. It could have been settled so easy two weeks ago when this all started.

Keep us posted.
 
They could try to collect a fee, but if the auction gets too close to the end Iā€™ll cancel my bids and I suggest MyDearJesus do the same. The seller can cancel the auction up to 12 hours before the end, and if they donā€™t they can file a non-paying bidder report. That ā€œnon-paying bidderā€ will likely be me, but the account Iā€™m using is a dummy one!!

The auction was just cancelled by eBay. It was up to something like $1,500,100 the last I checked.
Please be aware that auction:

in which you were a bidding participant, has been ended early by eBay for violating one or more of our listing guidelines.

Because the auction was ended early, you as a bidder are not required to complete the transaction. Since this is a listing violation, the seller is free to relist the item in the proper format. Should you wish to do so, you are free to bid on the item again if it is relisted.

At least they didnā€™t use it to make an example out of the seller. Last time I checked it had over 4,000 views. Hopefully more attention has been drawn to the problem.
 
šŸ˜ƒ :rolleyes: I must say I took a look at this link and laughed. I have felt as if Iā€™ve been in this fight along. Iā€™ve sent dozens and dozens of email, Iā€™ve printed those emails and mailed copies to the corporate principals and Iā€™ve also CLOSED MY EVIL-BAY ACCOUNT.

Still, this listing for eBayā€™s morals up for auction made me smile ā€“ but there was one slight problem. Thereā€™s nothing to buy -as Evil-Bay has shown that they HAVE NO MORALS.:mad:
Blessings,
Joanie
 
Yup, itā€™s a clear case of fraud. There are no morals on E-Bay.

Oh, another thing: I clicked on the Carmelite Nunā€™s E-Bay auction link, no rosaries or religious goods for sale at this time. I wonder if they are boycotting the auction or if it is just a coincidence.
 
I closed my eBay account today, after 5+ years. Then I went looking on the internet for others who felt similarly about this matter, and found these Catholic Answers boards. While weā€™re boycotting, writing emails, etc., letā€™s also pray for religious tolerance. I wrote eBay and said I felt that this sale is itself a hateful act, as there can be no real profit to be made in selling that which anyone can obtain by simply becoming a Catholicā€” and that those who are not Catholic or seeking conversion can have any good reason for seeking. But I got the same sort of non-answer that Iā€™m sure many others, something about being ā€œlike the classifiedsā€ and theyā€™re just the medium through which sales are conducted. Iā€™ll consider re-opening my eBay account when they add ā€œreligious intoleranceā€ to their list of prohibitable sales.

Good going Daniel-Luke!:clapping:
I too closed my account. I have about 30+ emails to-from evilbay. I posted the boycott site (finally!) Doing the right thing is usually the harder thing.
Blessings to you,

When boycotting eBay, PLEASE remember to do what you can to boycott Paypal, too. eBay bought Paypal in 2002, and the same CEO that runs eBay runs Paypal. I wrote a post about GreenZap, and honestly, Iā€™m hoping they will be able to solve all the problems I have with Paypal when theyā€™re up and running on June 1st, but Iā€™m also looking at options for setting up a real merchant account that will take debit cards, credit cards and eChecks. I got some good leads and one seems it will average out to only 2.3% on each sale after adding up the monthly fees and transaction fees, which turns out to be CHEAPER than Paypal!! šŸ˜ƒ I think one of the reasons that eBay doesnā€™t listen is because we tell them we wonā€™t use them anylonger, yet we dump all of our money into their account for them to invest and play with at their leisure. Letā€™s face it! Itā€™s not the eBay fees that makes eBay thrive, itā€™s the billions of dollars that we let sit in their Paypal account that they invest in whatever they please. We need to try and pull a Savings and Loan, and pull all of our funds out at the same time. Might not bankrupt them, but they will definitely lose stocks and thatā€™s what itā€™s all about to them, the stocks, not we little people. So, letā€™s show that it takes little people holding up the base so that the pyramid doesnā€™t topple!

Anarchy on eBay!
