I thought I posted a reply earlier but it hasn’t shown up. I was finally able to send a message to the seller by accessing the seller through a different path on ebay. Here is the message I sent (a copy was sent to my email address as well):
Dear colmado_naranja,
What happened to the auction for the Obama birth certificate??
I will post the reply if I get one.
I received a reply from colmado_naranja:
Dear kingabbey1 (my eBay ID),
Hi, the auction is up again. eBay items # 160345002984. Barack Hussein Obama Kenya Birth Certificate.
Ebay ended the auction a couple of times. Their reasoning for the last ending was because you can’t sell government IDs on eBay. Now colmado_naranja is selling his STORY. However, the winner of the story also gets the birth certificate. Seems like an interesting way to bypass the eBay policy. Interesting...
