    You beat me to it!! I was just about to post the same thing.

    A very enterprising MSEer in the making - I think she should have all the support we can muster. I've emailed everyone in my contacts list to go and have a look and put it in their watch list.

    I bet her mum will stop and think twice before speaking next time !!!

    wonder though if its just "mum" on a scam.
    personally, i don`t approve of this unless it was for some worth while cause rather than for personal gain.

    "carrie" is probably some 50 year old bloke trying to make some dosh for a few beers.
    but then i am a bit cynical about the genuiness of things like this.
    there is no way i would encourage my daughter (9 yrs) to do something like this.

    Fair play to the kid, but you are meant to be 18+ to use e-Bay.

    Ach well, even if it is a scam, it's not cost me anything to look at it, or to put it on my watch list.

    Maybe I'm just too naive for my own good !

    That's right, so someone somewhere is telling porkies.

    It's also written so syrupy, like mollytrundle says more likely a 50 year old guy who is out to get himself in the papers.

    I've got to say it looks like a load of rubbish to me. I doubt there is a little girl, if there is she's doing well to be typing all that and to know where to get the emotions etc. from that she uses on the auction page.

    It's a nice idea though and someone has made £13odd for very little work!
