Oh that's far more sensible than my gut reaction!

It might just be me but I reckon you wouldnt see the items you buy from this ebayer owing to their reluctance to use paypal, but thats just my suspiscious mind

 

[Lollii]

How wierd

 

[s4sugar]

Ebay won't pull the auction unless a request comes through from the Police, Trading Standards or similar.

 

[thinlizzy]

..strange mind i our paper i read ads saying unpassported horses wanted !Cheap !

 

[maletto]

not true - ebay will pull an auction if the item is potentially counterfeit or breaches their terms of trade (adult items)

not that this has anything to do with dodgy looking passports mind!!

 

[marinitagsd]

How rediculous!! What is the world coming to??

[melxvengeance]

that is utterly bizarre! people who have asked for ID number - please keep us informed so we can know what happens!

 

[nickslynn]

Interested to see what happens, I`ve informed ebay that its a legal doc.
Seams suss as seller has no ratings, hopefully they will remove item

 

[jinglejoys]

Shows you what a farce the whole thing is...they may remove it but I bet it will then be sold elsewhere!

 

[sam4321]

someone is bidding on it now!

 

[Firehorse]

yeah i just seen someone has bid on it. unless its one of us trying to get rid of it? i've also reported it to ebay. lets hope they stop the auction.

 

[brighteyes]

It has a bid!

 

[nickslynn]

I thought about bidding to get it out of circulation, but then just thought it might encourage them to sell more.

 

[horsecrazy25]

Speechless

I opened it up larger and all i could read was "Black Gelding"!!

 

[Natch]

Have you read the text? New to ebay my derriere! new account cos the last one got banned, more like.

 

[Tifferss]

LOL Ive reported it too and wrote a snotty description too.

 

[RuthnMeg]

I 'think' the owner of the current address is a MISS ??? WILLIAMS perhaps of a Welsh address?
The horse might be called something using a three letter word - TIM??

Seems very odd. Hope someone can shed light on it soon.

 

[Tifferss]

I might "accidentally" bid £50 on it so no one buys it....

 

[Happy Hunter]

i wouldnt want to bid OR WATCH this - its only encouraging it.
Well done to the reporters

EBAY would react quicker if it was a human passport!!!

i thinkkk the number on the top is 826069 013609308341 - - - What is the number on the top for?

I wonder what Defra would say??

Please keep us informed!

 

[welshwizzard]

looks like its gone now.
wrexham addy on passport and seller is in chester.

 

[jinglejoys]

I've already reported it to DEATHRA and told them I have a copy saved on Word if they want to see it in case it was pulled

 

[Tiggy1]

It has been removed now

 

[Ted's mum]
