This kid seems to have ignored ebay policies altogether and even goes public!!

 

A 14-year-old entrepreneur has built up an online toy shop from his family's milking parlour - and now turns over £15,000 (AU $26,927 and NZ $ 28,296)) a year.


Schoolboy Tommy Howard officially launched shop Dog In A Box on eBay last year - named after his pet pooch Oreo.


Stocking 1,000 products that he ships all over the world when he gets home from school, he never takes a day off.

It's probably a govt regulation that they have to show it, and ebay can't stop it.

Crow, how long would I stay alive if I sold it.

 

It's hubby's ticket  (I was too poor to buy a ticket)

 

It's on display.  I think he might notice it's missing.

I sure hope you've got good security at your house and that you NEVER sell anything on this ID or people could buy just to get your address.

Hahahahaha  I only buy/post on this ID

 

I did have a seller deliver once just to see what a stawka looked like.

 

He was local and I wasn't home.  He slid it under the door. (letter)

 

I wasn't impressed and gave him a serve.

 

Won't buy from him again.

 

Yay Padi -

I know of a seller that has been robbed after a nasty buyer found out where he lived.

The nasty person went through the whole house and stole over $10K worth of stuff but forgot to smile at the surveillance cameras.

He's still on the run but it won't be long before he's caught.

Putting your address on things is what you do as a seller - well I do anyway.

 

But I sell mostly to li'l ol' ladies

If you buy on this ID, any seller who read your post and knows the sort of thing you like to buy could easily put up an enticing listing for you and get your address as a buyer.
