It would be nice if the OP came back and set the record straight, because at this point, all we have to go on is a rant that could mean anything. I'm not so sure about it being a family member, why would they name them?
There are supposed to be security cameras in viewing areas. There should be evidence.
Really ? My goodness I think it would be more sensitive to stop the speculation.
I have attended a number of funeral services where there were viewings prior to the service in a range of venues including Churches, no security cameras, where it would be inappropriate and a signficant invasion of privacy.
I second that..
I too have been to many funeral services where there were viewing and NEVER EVER seen or heard of security cams in use.
By the way,my main job is installing security cams.
Maybe i should put it to all funeral service members to install cams..Boom time...
OP posted in caps with the wrong seller ID,so maybe read the listing wrong too.
I personally find it hard to believe someone would list something as being taken from a childs coffin.Unless i see an number I'm taking this with a grain of salt.
though reading the OP, my guess is that he may have reported it and ebay did nothing about it.
what a mess up
You have to have bals of steel to use these forums if you aren't a regular poster. So much holier than thou attitudes and jumping to conclusions and assumptions.
sorry Lizzy I wasn't replying to you specifically, your ID was just the last one when I click on reply.
The OP is blaming ebay for it, I just couldn't fathom how it was ebay's fault.

Me too..I recon its all BS...
Me three calling BS. I did a search last night for both child's coffin and childs coffin and searched both title and description and most of the results were books. Followed by fancy dress costumes and a lot of goth stuff. If someone had written in their listing that something was taken from a child's coffin, it would have come up in a title and description search.
I checked a few more variations of the ID that the OP left and only one was a seller. I checked all of their 20 odd listings and there was nothing even remotely like what the OP mentioned.
How sad that is searching for those things on eBay. My goodness, no words really .....
Think you have missed the most likely scenario - a personal possession belonging to a child - much more likely not advertised as stolen or where from, but may have been easily identifiable by the OP as the item in question, perhaps they knew the seller, perhaps it is not the case just an error caused through grief. Maybe it is even a wind up or another scenario all together....
Nonetheless, I think this thread is reveals quite a bit about the characterics and behaviours of some posters.

Apart from the fact the OP stated the seller said it was taken from a child's coffin.
Yes, this thread has revealed quite a bit about some posters. The fact that certain posters always have to go against every other posters comment. Everyone else says black, other poster says white, regardless of the content of the thread. Posters who assume they know the answer to everything, even though there has been no more information added from the wishy washy information in the OP. Yes, it does reveal the behaviours of some posters.
If people want to call BS on the OP, that's their choice. It doesn't make anyone right or wrong.
It sounds to me like family spat over something that was either put in the coffin, supposed to be put in the coffin or requested to be put in the coffin.
Or maybe it is just an overly dramatic rant about items that had belonged to a deceased child being sold on ebay - maybe items given to the child by the OP.
Apart from the fact the OP stated the seller said it was taken from a child's coffin.
Yes, they did state the item was taken from a child's coffin in the opening post.
...WITH EBAY ALLOWING SELLERS LIKE SELLING ITEMS FROM A DEAD CHILDS COFFIN
They did not state the sellers listing in any way included the info that the item for sale came from a child's coffin.
Seriously, I can't believe you would have thought that the seller would list their item for sale as being taken from a child's coffin???
If a thief lists stolen jewellery, do they add that it was stolen from XYZ Jewllers shop in the listing?
Given that the OP said those things, how would they know it was taken from a child's coffin if it wasn't in the listing? They also (incorrectly) named the seller (which the mods removed). I doubt they would have done that if it was a family spat. One would think if it was a family member, they would know the correct ID of their relative. Not wrongly accuse someone else.
