Thats odd. I wonder if its a glitch, someone bought everything (lucky bastard!), or they all ended the same time?

Anyone else experience this before?

Maybe eBay is cracking down on the bestiality auctions?

so we have people admitting that they search frequently for beatiality items, fleshlights, and blow up dolls on ebay and are disappointed there aren't as many for sale as before.

wow, you all need some help
someone is a bit cranky today

something i look for frequently usually returns lots of items. today it returns very little.
i'm not spelling it wrong or anything like that if thats what you are thinking.

LOL embarassed much?

no, not at all.
Discworld merchandise for fvck's sake. the item has no relevance to the question at hand but as per some kind of ATOT rule you have the need to make fun of me or put me down for some strange reason.

d00d... don't get all defensive. I'm not putting you down (or I don't care to). I just wanted to know what you were talking about so I could get a better understanding. Your OP was extremely vauge and made me :confused: that's all. You getting defensive made me think you were embarassed.

Take it easy man! I meant no disrespect.

please, thats the only reason atot exists.
so does knowing what i was searching for make a difference?

pontifex,

You HAD to know when you refused to say what you were looking for you'd get sh!t. If you didn't, you certainly do now.

I knew you'd get it the minute you refused to say.

I knew you'd get it the minute you refused to say.

but how does that change the answers to the question? obviously people aren't going to be searching for the same thing I am so what difference does it make?

dumbasses know you can't buy stuff like that off ebay anyway, so why bother mentioning it?

not everyone is on here 24/7/365 like you are and don't follow every single thread on ATOT. and those are the first 2 responses in this thread where you became a big dick to everyone.

i would go on how i feel about your posts on here, but that would probably get me banned. i'll now leave this thread cause you are an asshole.

Well, when you're hesitant to be specific about what you're looking for, it implies embarrasment/potential illicitness on your part. At that point, you set the imaginations of ATOTers in high gear, and well....you asked for it :)

BTW, if you want to buy/sell virtual goods from WoW, might I suggest getting a regular job? You make more money, potentialy provide a real benefit to society, and just might help to improve sociability skills. ;)

There was some thread about a college student turning in a CD to his professor with kiddie pr0n on it, he tried to get it back claiming it was a mixed music CD. I had actually forgotten about it until someone spelled it out again in this thread.

again, i'm an asshole to people who are assholes to me.

i have no problems being respectful to people who are respectful to me, but once you cross line, forget it. i am extremely tired of asking serious questions and seeing other people's serious questions sh!t upon by the members of this forum who are only here to troll or put other people down. i don't think i have ever seen a decent discussion where the threads didn't turn into flame wars.

i don't know how no one else feels the same way.

btw, i'm still waiting to hear why the item i was searching for had ANY ebaring on the question.

Sooooo two conclusions can be made.


1. Your an idiot who can't spell discworld?

2. You were not searching for discworld...

Which means...

I got 48 items to show up with my search for "Discworld." Is there some setting you might have accidentally enabled to show only the top result, or the item that ends soonest, or something like that. I know those functions don't usually limit the search to a single item, but rather just place them in order, but that is all I can think of.

Try a different browser, perhaps?

Also, this does have baring. Since no one else has experienced it, so depending on what you searched for, we can tell you if Ebay banned it or not recently since people would have posted about it moron.

Did you get that search for "Disc World" or "Discworld?" I only got close to that many when I split the search word in two.

The items you search for have no bearing? In what world are you living? That's actually the first question I would ask.

Ebay could have changed a rule that relates to the type of item you were purchasing, like with the aforementioned virtual goods.

And you refusing to answer a perfectly logical question and getting defensive is what created the rest of the answers. The " guess what Pontifex is buying" game is a lot more fun than trying to answer a guestion with too little information given.

Maybe you should think about why people are asking the question before assuming that we are all out to get you. Get teased much as a child?
