I love eBay.  I really do,  I love to browse, I love to sell and most of all, I love how you can find anything.  Well almost anything. 

Since it’s launch in 1995 eBay has been a great marketplace for anything metaphysical, from spells, potions, scrolls and tarot readings.  There are over 40,000 spell listings at any given time and 1500 tarot services offere.

It’s massive.  But now it is no more… And why?  Simply put eBay says it’s “customer-service headache”

“the company says handling complaints was a problem when, for example, customers didn’t win the lottery after buying a spell that promised them they would, or didn’t turn into werewolves after imbibing a potion that guaranteed a transformation.

EBay adds that it isn’t afraid of any hexes that might be cast on the company in the wake of its decision. “We hope any spells cast toward eBay promote a vibrant and trusted marketplace,” says spokesman Alan Marks.” [Gizmodo]

So that’s it then, back to the dusty flea markets and dark cobble stoned ally ways of Paris for your mana pots.
