Ebay sale to raise funds for circ - Page 2

[lovebug]

Of course we want it done, 94% of the boys born in the US today have this done.

I world really like to know where he got this statistic?!

Who would not want this done?

UMMMM!!! alot of people including me!!!

Not only is it more sanitary it’s also the “norm” today and no one wants to be abnormal do we?

WHAT!!!

he is out of his mind! SICK!!

[minkajane]

I reported it under human body parts. No, he's not selling body parts, but he's selling it to finance cutting off a body part!

That's the one I ended up using.

[lovebug]

how do you report???

cant find it on the bid page

[minkajane]

At the very very bottom of the page.

[phdmama06]

I reported it as well - under offensive/potentially offensive items.

[MCatLvrMom2A&X]

I am reporting as well. That is just so sad

I reported it as promoting violent crimes.

[Ron_Low]

It's not a crime yet, unfortunately.

It IS what ebay calls "keyword spamming" where you throw terms unrelated to your actual item into the title or description to increase search hits.

It's a violation they take seriously. As an active seller I've had listings cancelled because I said "men can grow their foreskins just as those tribesmen on the Discovery Channel grow their earlobes." The violation was bringing up Discovery Channel in a male hygiene device listing.

I can't complain to ebay because I'm still guilty of this myself by its strict definition, and I can't afford the scrutiny. I hope they hear from enough of us. Unfortunately, ebay will refund the scumbag's listing fees when they cancel it.

If he or an ally is bidding on his own listings, that is enough to get him banned from ebay.

How interesting. I saw the "keyword spamming" term in the report form and wondered what it was. Thanks for educating us

That is too true! Why take all the best things in life away?

I reported it too, I hope it gets taken down.

And for the poster who was wondering about the circ rate in Fairmont, Minnesota, it is high. All of Minnesota is high, and in tiny southern MN Fairmont, he probably hit the nail on the head with his 94% or whatever he said.

Of course that's not true for the nation, and not even all of Minnesota, but as a state, our circ rate usually hovers around at least 80%. My nurse friends in the area (central MN) say that upon leaving the hospital, 9 out of 10 are circ'd have a scheduled circ within the next few days. :

When I got the circ info sheet from my hospital it said that its circ rate was 90-95%. For someone unaware of the lower national circ rates, which this eBay seller obviously was, it would be easy to look at the info sheet and assume that the 90-95% applied to the nation at large.

Disgusting! :Puke

I reported him and then sent him a message. Here's what I said, I tried to be nice!

"Hi! Congrats on your twins! How exciting! I wanted to let you know that what you have stated about circumcision is inacurate. It is NOT cleaner -how is an open wound exposed to pee and poop in a diaper cleaner?- and it's NOT the norm! Only 50% of boys born in the US are circumcised now. My son is intact (not cut) and he is fine. No problems, no infections, etc. There's a reason the gov't stopped paying for circumcisions: they're not medically necessary! Even the American Academy of Pediactrics says so. I encourage you to look at www.nocirc.org and www.cirp.org before your son is born. Here is a site on how to care for an intact penis: http://www.cirp.org/library/normal/aap/. It's really easy: you just wipe the outside until the boy can retract it himself and then he just retracts, rinses, and recovers in the shower. It's that simple! I encourage you to keep your Wii AND your son's foreskin! He'll thank you! Have a great day!"

I saw it and went to send a message.. and then it was gone. Is everyone else getting the message it is no longer available?

[mamasophy]
