DO NOT read on if you are easily grossed out.








I got some kids clothes off eBay. They arrived this morning and in with the clothes was a scab with a chuck of human hair attached to it. :eek:
Has anyone ever had an unwanted item turn up with their bought items?

    I had some items turn up yesterday (11 days after paying for them, and seller ignoring all my messages!) In the package with the items (which were kids clothes) there was a STICK....and A PEN LID!

    How strange?!
    If google doesn't know it, how should i?

    That's pretty grim and would seem to indicate that they weren't washed before being sold.

    I once sold a handbag and left my paying in book in it!

    How vile! Items supposed to be cleaned to ebay standards aren't they?
    Burn them!
    If you will the end, you must will the means.
