Showing Original Post only (View all)eBay Bans Magic Potions, Curses, Spells [View all]
D'oh!Looking a for a spell that will make your partner lust for you and only you? Or a black magic revenge incantation to curse your enemy? Or maybe a good old-fashioned $51 demon-obliterating potion that promises to destroy heavy demonic energies, entities, beings and forces is all you need.
Come September, though, youll no longer find these quick fixes on eBay. Beginning Aug.30, the online auction site will ban the sale of curses, spells, hexes, magic, prayers, blessing services, magic potions, healing sessions and more.
Perhaps its the intangibility of hexes and curses that makes them tough to host. EBay regularly reviews categories and updates our policies based on customer feedback, a statement from the company read. We are discontinuing a small number of categories within the larger metaphysical subcategory, as buyers and sellers have told us that transactions in these categories often result in issues that can be difficult to resolve.

I'd be the last person to be accused of endorsing "potions, spells and curses"

So it's nonsense but freedom implies -- assures -- that some folks will go against the grain

I thought eBay hid behind their tried and true "Hey, we're just a venue" excuse.

Well, it's a good thing that I no longer sell goofer dust from Duane Allman's grave
