thought about putting this on all my auctions ? comments

This is the only time this item will be listed on Ebay as an auction due to so many buy it now items and due to the poor economy & cheapskates thinking I will relist at a lower price. . So if you want it better bid now other wise it is off to a local auction house or back in storage for another 10 years.

In other words bid now or I'll burn it, throw it way, sell it somewhere else or give it to the local goodwill or store it away for a long long time. Remember " he who hesitates is lost".

    You might also want to throw about 19 god blesses in there and ask that people repent their sins.

    Not Allowed:

    "You can't include comments that discourage buyers from participating or that could make them lose trust in eBay sellers and our website. For example, we don't allow statements like "eBay holds me to a standard well above 4 stars. 4 stars will get me suspended, so please only leave 5 stars."



    I could argue both sides of the acceptability issue, but the
    likelihood of a CS-monkey buying my pitch in defense of
    your listing is pretty slim.

    OTOH, it may be highly unlikely that anyone would report
    your listing as a violation.

    In general, buyers tend to shy away from listings that contain
    comments they perceive as "strange/unusual."

    .......

    Conclusion: Any gratuitous comments are best thought,
    but not included in listings. This is especially true if an attempt
    at humor might be seen as hostile toward EBAY or its shoppers.

    ............................................

    MANY years ago, I - and other sellers - used to list official certificates
    that were signed by famous politicians. Such listings would include
    statements like,

    "If this item is not sold through this listing, the signature will
    be cut from the certificate and offered in a future listing."

    The tag generated both hate mail and lots of sales.

    I think storm nailed it.......I wouldn't bid if I thought I was not getting the full faith and trust of the seller...which I would question if I read what you posted.

  • I want to say thanks for all the great ideas. so I am revising my first draft.

    This item is from my Dying grandpa's estate and is the only time this item will be listed on Ebay due to so many super rare items in grandpa's estate and the fact grandpa needs a special medical treatment within the next 2 to 3 weeks and this is the only means of paying for it and it will/might save his life so bid early bid often and bid high and god bless all the bidders. remember grandpa might not make it if I have to relist this item and I won't be able to buy a plane ticket for his 7 year old grandson who wants to see gramps one last time and then fly back in time to attend bible school. So if you want it better bid now otherwise the next time you see it on ebay it might be to pay for gramps funeral and all those money grabbing estate lawyers.

    In other words bid now or gramps dies and his evil 3rd ex wife gets all of it, and sells it to the local flea market dealer (that she is sleeping with this week) Remember all these items are super rare and some may be one of a kind. good luck on bidding and save gramps and grandson from the evil ex-wife. and as Red Skelton would say "good evening and may god bless". imageimage

    Or you could warn buyers the next time you list it the shipping will go from $2.00 to $4.00 and shipped in a PWE stamped "Bend if necessary".

    My favorite is the "lady" who is selling her ex-boyfriend or ex-husbands card collection.

    There also was a seller that claimed that her husband had died of cancer and "she" was selling his cards.
