    They're only thinking of the name and how cool their reputation will be when their friends see their little treasures all dolled up :cool:

    I've reported everything to everyone. I odn't usually bother anymore but where the stuff is downright dangerous I think it really worth the effort.

    Honestly though, I have to say I've come over all 'middle class' and can't help but picture the woman in a chair with a fag and a can of strong cider thinking up ideas on how to bling baby things to look real classy....

    What next, the word 'Gucci' written in crayon across a bib?

    Have to say I agree completely. Its rare I report things, laziness I suppose, but those are just downright dangerous. If she really is a mum of 6 you would think she'd have realised wouldn't you?

    I do hope her selling career isn't a lengthy one.

    Most of it seems to have gone now. I laughed at her listing for ugg gloves listed as brand new as per ebays guidelines also listed in the item specifics. the only text she has is that she has worn them once!!
