Disturbing Ebay item

Not open for further replies.
why? why.why why would they be a need to make such an ugly and disturbing thing. It looks like road kill. :'( not nice
 
If it's reported chances are it'll be removed as they don't actually check what's removed when they get a whole bunch of reports.

It's not against ebay policy to sell taxidermied animals. I'm somewhat disturbed she likes to taxidermy roadkill!
 
Since the person is offering to do commissions outside of ebay you can report it as "offers to buy/sell outside of ebay" which is against listing policy.
 
Thats horrible in my opinion and sooo gross :-\ How can she sell her own pets off even though there dead ? £254.00 :o ridiculous
 
i must be the only person that doesnt have an issue with this. I personally dont like it and woulldnt have it or have it done to any of my pets but i wouldn't say it offend me either. Everyone has there own tastes and views and if theres a market for this sort of thing then someone has to supply. As for it being against ebays policy i cant see how? I recently ordered a cake topper and the women state dshe did comission work and has been listing things for 6 years. In my opinion if you dont like it dont look and let the woman run her business
 
I can see where your coming from - but this person whoever she or he is messes around with dead animals :P not very nice imo :-\
 
i know its not very nice at all, i cetainly wouldnt do it and find it odd why someone would want to it. but there obviously is a market for bit. If you dont like this you then have to think about those who wear fur or leather shoes or those who have old ivory items. I cartainly wouldn't give up my leather bags and shoes but then thats it an animal, its just a lot prettier to look at. haha.
 
i do not like taxidermie it had its time in the past now we have better technology etc so the need to preserve animals etc is not needed
But to mess around in such a way is not nice
I can't even go in to the animal gallery at Norwich Castle as its filled with the things its sad
 
Well thats it to be honest and going onto leather bags etc is a whole new topic cause you didnt make it yourself just bought it which i think is ok in some terms but not stuffing dead animals :)
 
Nothing wrong with taxidermy to preserve a wild animal or bird (road kill perhaps) as a genuine educational specimen.

But this is just gross - and as clare said, it's a mockery. Have a look at this person's other animals linked from his/her feedback - they're gross too.
 
I have attempted to report the item to ebay but right at the end it just keeps asking me to enter the item number - durr which of course I did. Can someone else try. This is thoroughly sick and should be remoevd.
I can try again today.

Helen.

It must be just me but I don't think it should be removed from ebay. I am well aware its not normal and ut is totally gross but there is a market out there for taxidermy and this woman has to make a living. Far enough it wouldn't be any of our choices of making a living but we all need to make money to live. The first post said what it was going to be so if you knew you were going to be offended why look? Don't know if it is just me, but i honestly think we should just let this person have her career.

I totally agree with you. Basically I am against having such a thing in my home but if others want it then why not?! And it seems to me to be fairly obvious that others do want it or the lady (and others) would not have a business!
 
I dont think it should be removed either. i personally dont like it but its not against ebay rules and the way i see it the animals are dead, its not them its just their bodies, like donating your body to science or organs, obviously it doesnt help anyone but to me its just the same as the body being burried etc. if people want that displayed in their homes (wierd as they must be) i dont really mind! x
