eBay cancels Mohammed auction

Remember this? Well, I forgot to get a damn screenshot, and just as I predicted, eBay cancelled the auction–AFTER the auction was completed and someone had won it. (Aaron has more details about the auction than I had posted, though.)

***Listing Cancelled - Results Null and Void***

Please be aware that the following auction-style listing:

Item Number - 7391689482

We advise you not to finalize this transaction with the seller. As stated in the eBay User Agreement, neither seller nor buyer should engage in transactions that violate the law or eBay policy.

HA!

(No, I didn’t win the auction, I had just placed an early (low) bid so I got this notice.)

CHICKENCRAPS!

Note: Sorry, I still find eBay indispensable and have no plans to quit shopping on eBay. Just sayin’. Chickenshi’ites. I guess in their (weak) defense, though, I’ll concede that they do cancel a LOT of auctions for all kinds of reasons. Chickenshi’ites.

    So if Catholics would have went around beheading folks months ago, we would have gotten the consecrated Hosts removed from Ebay in an instant.

    Just wait until Sharia is recognized in the US. Your freedoms are already becoming dhimmified.
