Bump

Seems like it would be cheaper to fly to Kenya and get your own copy.

I’ll offer anyone 100,000 for his authentic college records.

[peace with honor]

and e-bay is afraid of what?

[Danae]

What do you want to bet its Sammy Korir?

[novemberslady]

Administrators tell those who contacted seller not to respond again

Why not? Or what?

[Renegade]

How can they WARN you not to CONTACT the seller .They have some sort of SUPER powers over there at EBAY central . I’d tell em to stuff it !

[penelopesire]

hmmmmm.....

Obama brownshirts at work here?

[DecentAmerican]

well see, Ebay is in a quandary....by banning the sale of ‘government documents”, they are in fact attesting that this certificate is an official government document, and in fact the real thing. If in fact it is a novelty item, then of course it wouldn’t be banned.

So, which is it Ebay.....a government document, or not? If it is a government document, then you have confirmed what we know...that the Usurper is a fraud.

It would be even cheaper to open Photoshop and create your own.

I almost forgot about him. ;)

100,000... what... toothpicks? ;-)

I'm just curious. Is there NOWHERE on earth to hold this auction other than EBay?

If they are just not interested, why not try Craig's List, or something like that. Quit beating your head against that EBay wall.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Assuming if it did exist it’s still there. I wouldn’t bet on that last part.

[MTMS]

Yes, that line raised my eyebrow, too.

[trumandogz]

I thought such documents were auctioned at Sotheby’s in London.

[from occupied ga]

and e-bay is afraid of what?

Of being seen as a knowing party to fraud. This ranks right up there with the "you have won a (fill in the blank) lottery" and we just need some fees to help you claim your money.

[trustandobey]

They sell other birth certificates on Ebay. This is ridiculous! If people want to buy it, ebay will make money on it, so there has to be some other reason. Hope she keeps trying.
