Tiresome, silly ebay listings.

vet8

Am I the only person getting tired of the joke listings that are happening more and more on ebay? Snowmen, igloos, snow, piles of bricks etc., I have seen all of these today.

I suppose when ebay offer free listings all the idiots come out to play, but it is annoying when you are looking for something.

I bought a snowman today. I put it on my back seat - but when i got hom it was gone.

I think it must have been a homing snowman - they must have trained it to go back - and i am left with nothing.

I got the car lovely and warm for it - after all that time out in the cold. I feel so silly now.

Have to confess that I was wondering what the OP could have been looking for specifically to find the silly listings. Perhaps local search?

We have nothing silly going on in my area

the last one is basically just a way of raising money for charity. £2 donation really.

Yes, but still funny and breaks ebays policies as nothing offered for sale.

I was searching for garden ornaments and if you look there it is stuffed full of snowmen. The first one or two were amusing, but after seeing dozens it wears a bit thin.

As for the guy selling the pile of broken bricks, I looked at his other listings and they are all weird rubbish, like a hole in the Earth. The worrying thing is that he has sold some of his stuff and received lots of feedback. Now he has built a feedback reputation without actually selling anything, that is worrying.
