Looking forward to your next listing Paul. Daisy

you could put a pink ribbon on each side of the box to emphysise its for a cancer charity. E x

Elaine, Not a bad idea. I'm convinced someone complained to ebay about the auction. There are others on there selling 'nothing' too, some of the auctions have been there longer than mine, and were still there last night, so its not like they did a blanket search and delete. I really feel sorry for the person who has so little substance to their life that they have to do something like that. Very sad. Paul x

Paul What a great idea, and what a shame that some jobsworth had to go and spoil it all. I hope you find a way to get round it and try again, good luck. Yvette

How about a BOX OF NOTHING ?? You can take a photo of the box open from different angles It can be a small box so if you have to send it off, it will be minimal payment to you. E x

hun there is always someone out there too try and ruin things xx

its not quite the same as selling nothing though is it lol I've emailed ebay to let them know of my disgust. There are/were quite a few other similar listings. Mine was the only one for charity. I wonder if someone complained ? They're the lowest of the low if they did. (I've just checked and there are still two 'absolutely nothing' items listed. One of them says its for charity... the chap involved actually emailed me a few days ago to wish me well). I'll sort something out tomorrow, and post a link.

ermmm paul i was a bit late catching on wasnt I - never mind!! agree sell pink ribbon lets have another go maybe i could join in this time too xx

Wendy, I've just had a very similar thought whilst out walking the dog believe it or not. I'll get the wording right and then relist.. watch this space..

Paul, Put a pic of a pink ribbon on the site and charge people 99p to look at it!

I should add - thanks everyone that took part - it was only really done for a bit of fun, and it made a few of us laugh. It was good while it lasted !

ooooooo I'm so bloody cross !!! If anyone still wants me to send them nothing, PM me and I'll let you know where you can donate/pay. Credit card payments can be made online, or cheques can be sent to me made payable to CANCER RESEARCH UK. This is what I got from them.

Can't we still deal direct? We could pay and still get what we bid on and avoid the vendor being viable for the fee on completion! Pete

I got that email too :o( What rules did it breach, does anyone know? Ya boo sucks to the online auction site ;op* * * * * Sue xx

Just notified by ebay that this item has been withdrawn for a rule violation!
