This is almost starting to look like EBay is in on it.

Why would they keep letting this person post this stuff, then pull it, only to let them try to sell it again, then pull it.

If they're trying to bait people, it could backfire because of the publicity it's drawing. Just look at ALL the press this is garnering (sound of a pin dropping)!

Imagine if this was McCain...

NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN: BREAKING NEWS!!

"A Kenyan birth certificate was being auctioned off today on EBay for a OVER MILLION DOLLARS! So... Where was John McCain really born??... We NEED to find out NOW!!"

“This is almost starting to look like EBay is in on it. “

It is bizarre. It seems they would have pulled the user account after the second or third attempt to list Ogabe’s Kenyan Birth Certificate.

I believe that this is just a stunt perpetrated to further deride and ridicule those of us who dare to ask for proof of Barry’s natural-born citizen status.

eBay Founder Linked To Obama

Ebay founder Pierre Omidyar’s politics have become the subject of blog commentary because the web auction site over the last week repeatedly scrubbed an offering of an allegedly genuine copy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate — from Mombasa, Kenya.

But eBay said it wouldn’t get involved in any discussion of Omidyar’s activities or political statements. Spokeswoman Evonne Gomez said, “We certainly wouldn’t comment on our founder’s political concessions or beliefs. He is not involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.” She said if a question was submitted in writing, she would consult on whether it would be answered. A question submitted by WorldNetDaily didn’t, however, produce a response.

“I will coordinate with colleagues on the corporate side,” she said. “We wouldn’t comment on his political views or associations.”

Omidyar, a billionaire, former CEO and current chairman of eBay, was appointed by Barack Obama to serve on the 28-member President’s Commission on White House Fellowships earlier this month.

According to a White House press release from June 17, Omidyar joins Obama’s sister Maya, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, General Wesley Clark, former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, and several others on the committee, which recommends candidates to the president for selection as White House Fellows. The release calls the White House Fellowship “America’s most prestigious program for leadership and public service, providing young individuals with experience working at the highest levels of the federal government.”

Omidyar further serves as a trustee of the Punahou School in Hawaii, the elite private high school that Obama and Maya graduated from in 1979, and endorsed Obama’s candidacy for president on his blog in March 2008.

WND reported has reported that over the last week eBay has scrubbed at least five auctions offered by a seller known to the public only as “colmado_naranja.”

The sale was for a document that purportedly was a Kenyan birth certificate for Obama.

Colmado_naranja claimed, the auction pages were removed because of an eBay policy prohibiting the sale of government documents, even though several foreign birth certificates and even a driver’s license — albeit all from 1935 or older — were discovered for sale on the auction site.

An eBay help desk representative said the fifth auction auction for “the dissertation” was removed because the company believed, “a third party had accessed the [seller’s] account.”

The latest offering from colmado_naranja is an auction for a photograph of several people who reportedly helped in the hunt for the “birth certificate,” and a promise that more information would be unveiled in a planned YouTube video.

Obama’s place of birth, however, remains only one of several questions and possible avenues for answers that remain in determining whether or not Obama is a “natural born citizen” under the U.S. Constitution and eligible to serve as president.
