Editor's note: Since publication of this story, the auction item has been removed for the third time. None of the item identification numbers in this article remain valid.
An eBay seller who previously promised to deliver a certified copy of President Obama's actual birth certificate from a hospital in Mombasa, Kenya has twice had his listing removed from the popular auction website.
In a third listing, however, the seller calling himself "colmado_naranja" has explained why the birth certificate was twice yanked by eBay administration.
"The first cancellation was done in what eBay describes as being in the interests of keeping my account safe," the newest listing claims, referring to the now scrubbed item # 160344374585. "eBay was under the impression that a third party had accessed and compromised my account, that this third party put up the Barack Obama African birth certificate auction and that I had no knowledge of the said listing."
As WND reported, colmado_naranja's original listing claimed, "President Barack Hussein Obama II was born in The Coast Provincial Hospital at Mombasa in Kenya at 7:24 p.m. on August 4, 1961."

Your “Blatino” thing can’t get dumber. And this time it is a no, no PC again. Right?
Apparently you are the one having the problem with skin color/shades.
I am white. My first name, middle name, and last name are English. That makes me a white English Latina according to you and Google. (We prefer Latin since we are not into PC.)
The major Indian tribes in Panama accoring to you and Google should be called Latino Indios Fulano de Tal y Mengano.
The West Indians who settled here after the canal was built should be called “Latinos Negros del Caribe.”
Nothing to do with being a Panamanian.
Take your pick.
I am an American Citizen. Dont give me this PC garbage.
You're being patently ridiculous. The term "Afro-Latino" popped up in a web search pertaining to the account name associated with this purported birth certificate, nothing more and nothing less. It was of interest, in combination with the food association of "colmado" and "najarna," in trying to identify this person, and possibly find something out about him or her.
You really do need to calm down. "Blatino" may be dumb, but it's not me calling myself that, since I'm neither black nor Latino. But, there are quite a few people who do call themselves that, apparently.
Go tell them off. I'm sure there's a forum somewhere, where self-identified people such as this can be found in sufficient numbers to be worth your time. Go get 'em, Craig. Tell 'em how stupid they are. That'll show 'em.
I price items on E-Bay, but personally have never bought a single thing via it. I've found I can usually locate the item elsewhere at the same or lower price without going through the E-Bay hassle of bidding. Call me old-fashioned.
You’re right, they jumped the shark with increased fees a few years back. Most online sellers have found other, less costly venues, like Craigslist.
Certainly.
Unless, as I noted MIGHT be done, the relevant page had been torn from the record book.
You see, in the day before computing, the keeper of records in most countries, and certainly in any that happened to be under British administration, kept books, with stamped and sequentially numbered pages, in which were bound the relevant documents. Also they were logged and their data; Book no., pages, etc. noted in the logbook. Separate volumes were kept for deeds, records of birth, marriages, deaths, etc. All the records were kept in ink.
The removal of any page would be noticed because the numbered page would be missing. Also, the missing page could be identified by referral to the logbook.
The system was simple and effective. This and similar paper systems remain in use today all around the world. You can be sure that I Obama really was born in kenya, there was a record of that fact, and one that would be hard to remove from the record without a full scale and extraordinary effort to forge and duplicate several documents to create an alternate record book and log.
Wouldn’t colonial era records be kept in London, and not Mombassa?
Getting mure and mure exciting!
The name associated with “colmado_naranja” on craigslist seems to be female, and could be the sort of first name more popular with black families.
The seller may be a she, and she may have been able to go in under the radar in Mombasa, and very sweetly asked for a copy of the Kenyan’s birth certificate, succeeding where others had failed.
I hope she’s safe.
No. They would be in Mombassa.
Let’s be clear. While I am sure that there are MANY colonial era records in London, they would be reports and statistics. Original recorded documents would be in Kenya, and even then, they would be dispersed among the local records offices where they were originated. Only if a local office were to have been closed would records be consolidated, and then at another local office, the one given the responsibility for the locale in question.
My understanding was, before the election, that the relevant documents were put in a special status, not to be accessed by anyone unless cleared by the Ministry of the Interior. However, now that the imposter has already been sworn into office, perhaps such precautions are felt to be moot.
Remember, for Kenyans, this is a point of pride.
This guy might have the real thing.
I don’t know.
Sometimes I think Obamas got minions working here at FR as moderators. It really makes me angry.

I wonder if someone paid the $1,000,000.00
or if the sight got overwhelmed and took it down?
If the seller was smart then, what?
If someone had used “Buy it Now” the auction would still be visible, it would just show “This auction was completed with “Buy it Now”.
Here is the response I got from the seller :
Hi, thanks for your note. The $25 million dollar offer stands only if Obama himself hands over his birth certificate. I appreciate your help though in writing to me. The Barack Obama Birth Certificate auction is up again, for a 4th time. The auction number is 160345151420. You’ll probably have to search for it by the auction number as of right now. The auction is still new and might not show up in a listing name seach just yet. However, the listing is titled: Profoundly interesting document found in Kenya / Africa
- colmado_naranja
Actually, it’s another example of being “above his pay grade.”
Colmado_Naranja is a self described seller/collector of old
Dominican and Cuban money.
From Wikipedia: “According to a study by the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute, about 90% of the contemporary Dominican population has African ancestry.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Republic
http://www.jstor.org/pss/2634170
In the DR, Colmados are neighborhood grocery stores. The image provided in the seller profile is of a colmado (store). They are all over the place. I used to live there.
The name is just orange convenience store. This is the way Colmado is used in the Dominican Republic.
