You can copy and paste this:

"This item is racist and has been recalled by the manufacturer and pulled from all retail stores.

The seller herself indicates that the item has been recalled and is thus in knowing violation of Ebay site rules."

This must be done immediately b/c it closes in half an hour.

Cancelled my complaint when I saw this message, since I'm not sure if flooding ebay with complaints accomplishes anything:

i think you should do it b/c that was how the a&f shirts were pulled from ebay--by flooding their inbox.

FYI: It was not easy emailing Ebay if you are a non-ebay member. Since I was bidding on the item, how could i logically sent a protest against that very same item?

In the future, if you need to send email to Ebay and you are not an Ebay member, you can send it through the "law enforcement" routing. Now...i do not recommend this! But it does work....

To China Lamma:

You should always send a few complaints into EBAY's email box. This is called "PRESSURE". Pressure works! Other minorities, religious sects, etc use this technique too. Why shouldn't we? We must always make our voice heard when we need to be heard.

Thanks to all of those that sent complaints into Ebay. It worked!!

Those Ebay sellers of "Kung Fool" masks are propagating like chicken pox. Apparently Ebay does nothing about them. I can't fight them all myself. Maybe some others can send complaints to EBAY while I bid them up so no one can buy them.

Don't forget to inform the seller when you make the complaint against him/her. They should be on notice of this.

I found the items. Fortunately none are ending within the next 24 hours, but I still can't figure out how to report an item.

I can and am willing to report every item, especially while sitting bored in Contracts class tomorrow morning.

It is good that eBay may have frozen all sales. Maybe they finally realized that this costume is a problem. Maybe we're making our voices heard. It just takes some effort, but it is worth it.

To my fellow Asian Americans:

Thanks for reporting those items to Ebay. The sellers seem to keep cropping up everyday.

I will do my part, i will be the top bidder before the end of the auction. Apparently, there are other "colleagues" already doing this which is great!!

Gold Man

10-23-2002, 09:54 AM

FYI to people who want to create ficticious "throw away" accounts on EBAY:

*First, i do not recommend this! But it can be done*

If you have an ISP email account such as AOL, Earthlink, SBCglobal, Pacbell, or another ISP account, you can create a new EBAY account without using a Credit Card! Thus, for example if Earthlink allows you to create 5 email addresses under your primary master account, that means you can create 5 new EBAY accounts. And Earthlink will let you delete those 5 subsidiary email accounts and create new replacement subsidiary email accounts. Therefore, you can create an unlimited amount of EBAY accounts.

On Ebay, I've seen accts names such as:

-Qlam91
-Spermdrinker
-Jews_against_racism
-mask killer

These seem to be created soley for the purpose of fucking up those goddamn mask sellers!

Right on brothers and sisters! Keep it up! We must attack this problem from all sides!

EBAY Situation:

There seems to be about 6 sellers now and for some wierd reason, all the top bid prices are at $88. (hehe!)

One of the "Kung Fool" Mask sellers cancelled some obviously overpriced bids. Well, that's what he/she gets for knowingly trying to sell HATE paraphenalia.

You can copy and paste this if you intend to email a seller:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have been reported to the proper law enforcement authorities for trafficking in illegal HATE paraphenalia. In addition, you have been added to a watch list.

As of 9 PM EST 10/23/02, there were still 2 auctions of this item.

Gold Man

10-23-2002, 08:14 PM

Yes, 2 auctions left , one of them being a new one. Let's keep this up until after Halloween. The Kung Fool sellers are trying to unload this before Halloween so we've got to hit them hard, now!

Bidding up the mask to an unsreasonably high price keeps the mask out of reach from any would be collectors to even try to bid. This is the whole idea, keep the selling price high. Of course, the owner will report you but he will be too late. When Ebay finally takes action against you, they will also take action against the seller and delete that item. Therfore, if you are a bidder, you never have to worry about actually paying and consumating the sale because it will be declared null and void before the end of the auction.

kasia

10-23-2002, 08:19 PM

ebay won't be taking any action against you. they've acknowledged that the costumes are against their site rules.

Please be aware that auction:

1780062141 - halloween kung fool costume recalled rare

in which you were a bidding participant, has been ended early by eBay
as it appears to offer an item or contains material which is prohibited
for sale on eBay. Because the auction was ended early, you as a bidder
are not required to complete the transaction.

If you would like to review our listing guidelines for a better
understanding of our auction policies, they can be found at:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-list.html

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may
have on our existing policies.
