EBay bans the sale of spells, psychic readings and potions

EBay is discontinuing the sale of potions, psychic readings and spells.  Apparently customer service and handling complaints on such things is a female dog.

I wonder if the sellers saw that coming.....

Wow. I never even thought of using ebay for that sort of thing. Would they still allow me to sell paper "prayer cloths"? Fragments of the true cross? Handkerchiefs used to daub the brow of Joel Osteen?

It's hard to be a psychic these days . . . earlier this summer, a psychic summit in Austin had to be canceled due to unforseen circumstances.

In other news ...

The CEO of e-bay is missing, and his secretary found a toad hopping around in his office.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
