I was thinking that, but if it were real and you really need to get shot then you're not gonna admit it's real.

nice bloods by the way.

Thanks for the comment.

Yeh true, but for £2.50? I'd rather give it away free to a good home than bother with £5 max including delivery! But still, its either a wind up prank or an actual idiot!

This one is real, and i've already reported it to eBay. Why do people think they can get away with this?

To be honest, I can understand new ebay users trying to sell as they may not know about the sale of live animals etc. They should get a warning. But for others, it's just plain ignorance and no excuse for it. They obviously have an internet connection so why can't they find a simple reptile classifieds?!

Yeh there is that too! All you can do is keep reporting to ebay until they bring in solutions to act against the problem

They should hire people to keep an eye on these things. Instead of relying on the public.
