Weirdos on Ebay

    Has anyone else come across them? I received the following message from a 'woman' about a pair of used dressy high heels that I was selling with a 0.99 reserve:

    Interested in bidding on your heels may I get a few pics of how they look on and would you please include a few pics with socks on with them, all I wear with my heels, and a few close ups of the peep toe area with them on also. You can send them to my gmail account


    WTF??? What kind of woman would wear socks with heels anyway? :confused:

    And while selling a deck of tarot cards, an american dude messaged me asking if I thought they would make a good baptismal gift :rolleyes:

    Also, a nice sounding lady from England whom I sold a necklace to last week has begun messaging me as if I were a friend, telling me about her life on a daily basis. She received the necklace last Friday but has sent me 6 messages since, telling me all about her family and the snow and the dogs..... I haven't even replied to the last 3 she sent :(

    I just seem to attract them.......

    Brace yourself; put "well worn" into the search box on Ebay and hit 'Enter'.

    I will say no more.

    Hahahah, :D This literally just brightened up my day, next time i order from Hong Kong/China, i'm copying that word for word. I hope you don't mind.

    Buy a load of knickers in Penny's.
    Wear each pair for a couple of days.
    Stick up on ebay
    Profit.

    Only downside is they are a killer on me nuts.

    My aunt regularly sells shoes on ebay and some of the messages she gets would make your eyes pop from guys with shoe/feet fetishes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,552 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    There's a guy who buys children's mannequins. I've tried finding the page buy I can't. His about me page has photo's of the dolls all around his house and garden. They're poking out from behind hedges and stuff. It's really weird.

    This guy leaves the funniest feedback I've seen
    cannolis were DELICIOUS—well—cept for the one my 12YO lost his virginity with

    As promised—my stools are large—firm—& have no more odor that a warm biscuit

    A+—panties arrived quickly & UNWASHED as described—I shall use them to make tea

    You must be new to this, you should put them on backwards. Send pics so that I can see you are doing it right. Many thanks. x.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,619 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Does she come with the socks?

    You may have hit on the reason for them being on sale, although I expect knickers would sell better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz

    No but she possibly came with the socks on.

    I might do it myself! I had no idea people would pay for, er, used items like that. Potential gold mine when you get past the ick factor.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,458 ✭✭✭senorwipesalot


    Jesus,I stand to make a fcukin fortune.
    Ive got a bedroom floor full of skiddy underpants.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭Fox_In_Socks


    I've had a pair of threadbare underpants up on eBay for the last year and not a flicker of interest.:sad:

    Nothing wrong with people making requests to sellers on eBay.

    Then you get the small minded people who stick their noses into something that is of NO concern to them, as they are NOT buying the items.

    If someone IS concerned about something so trivial then maybe they need to get a life or some interests of their own.

    I have some underpants that are nearly new if you're interested?

    Eh, okay...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭old_aussie


    What I mean is that the buyer should just be totally ignored if they bring personal communications it.

    I just ignore personal messages in eBay, it's a business transaction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭old_aussie

    Could be interested, what size are they?

    Can you model them for me and take some pictures, and please wear some matching sox as I like my undies and sox to match.

    It sounded like you had a fondness for used undies. :p
