Come the end of the month, the supernatural is no longer welcome on eBay |
Good
news, everyone.
In it’s 2012
Fall Seller Update, eBay has apparently announced it’s intention to exclude the selling of
paranormal and/or supernatural goods and services on it’s online marketplace.
According to what I’ve read so far, they’re excluding such things as:
“Advice; spells; curses; hexing;
conjuring; magic services; prayers; blessings; Psychic, Tarot, Reiki and other
metaphysical readings & services; magic potions; healing sessions.”
All this
means that as of the 30th August anyone attempting to peddle openly
paranormal or supernatural items and services on the site will have the sale
removed. Honestly I’m a little surprised that eBay has previously let this sort
of thing slide, but that’s admittedly just being a little negative; it’s nice
to see a large online presence help to prevent people from being exploited by
psychics and other charlatans.
A step
in the right direction, all in all.
