eBay Bans Spells, Potions, and Curses

[ThunderCavalier]

So...

Is Ebay trying to stop all of the joke and stupid auctions that go on their site?

What! how will I get my daily dose of Jesus blood now!

Become a catholic priest and make your own.

I'm not usually one to play Devil's advocate P), but I take it, therefore, that the sale of all religious material (and quasi-spiritual paraphernalia) will be banned as well?

I dont think there is a large amount of prayer for sale to the monotheistic deities, but probably more than enough religious idols and paraphernalia.

I wasn't aware monotheistic deities were eBay users.

Where the line is drawn I guess is if the item is an actual physical item rather than a made up service.

But a "magic potion" can be deemed an actual physical item, even if it's efficacy is debatable. And who's to say that a "true believer" cannot experience an intended effect (whether placebo or no), as much as any inspiration of faith derived from an effigy of a human figure upon a cross.
My point being, that one man's religion is another man's heresy, and to an agnostic mind, any particular religious belief system (and the various associated components) may be based upon "a made up service".
What's the bet that the undoubtedly prodigious selection of "Christian-centric" products won't be coming off the [virtual] shelves anytime soon.

Mythrandia is totally a wizard I just know it.

Nah, I'd say he's more a Dirk Gentley style bamboozler. It helps that no one has the stamina to make it through the reams of text he produces.

Do you know Svlad Cjelli? Do you know Reg? What are the 3 questions that George III asked Reg?

Is that a reference to the books? Its been a few years since I read them.

Darn, I was really hoping to buy the Apocalypse spell, I hear it goes for like 1000 at retail. I was hoping I could find a none used copy for a little cheaper. But now no. How am I going to wipe out all life on the planet if I can't go the major hub for internet goods.

Maybe amazon has it.

Misleading title. I thought they banned the sell of Magic cards.

If they did they'd get true backlash I'm sure.
I personally agree, religion and witchcraft have no place in eBay, I think they should go a step further and not allow 'holy relics' to be sold either. I'm Catholic, by the way.

So long as I can keep selling my toast with Jesus etched into it I'm fine. Just remember, $100 a piece.

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

What will I do now when I feel particularly stupid and/or gullible and want to throw money away? Guess I could just support a politician.

 

[BoogieManFL]

I hope that post didn't take long to come up with. Because I only looked at it for about 4 seconds.

 

[Evil Smurf]

hahaha can you imagine? Magik piracy! This is what they have created.

 

[Roxor]

Not a bad start. Now ban the rest of the mumbo-jumbo.
