My eBay account got suspended.

I have not used eBay in awhile so I guess I don't know the proper protocol for someone outbidding you for a cursed doll. Cursed with either a violent curse or a child's soul. The seller didn't specify.

It is not proper etiquette to e-mail the person you were bidding against and ask them to sell it to you rather than use it for their BuzzFeed article. Or let them be aware that you were honestly hoping it had some soul trapped in it to give it to friends in the hope that it will come to life in the middle of the night to do whatever cursed dolls do.

Who knew. I thought we were both cursed doll enthusiasts.

It is annoying, and my account has been permanently suspended after I sent in an appeal explanation.
Apparently, wanting the doll more than someone else is no ground to e-mailing them about their win.
Nor should I have gone into so much great detail about the curiosity if a soul was actually trapped inside or not because that counts as human trafficking.
The soul is already trapped, eBay.
What other function does it have but enhance the sell?

I thought you would like it.
It was my wish to get you one, after all.
You and someone else.

[ohrlyeh]

yeah like come on you can get so much stuff off of it why does a trapped soul have to have this much ruckus around it

i would love to have one, you know i love collecting those things. thanks for thinking of me

who else likes them?

[livingimpaired]

Uncertain.
It is not even like they can prove it is there.

You are welcome.
I actually got the idea of seeing that zine, DOLL PARTS.

Ai Aoki. I am uncertain if you know her.
I can't say that she likes them, however, but she was an intended recipient.

[ohrlyeh]

oh i like that zine i got myself a copy of that

and i don't think i know her? but why were you going to send someone a cursed doll if you were unsure they were a fan of them

like at least give it to someone who would take care of it. waste of a perfectly good cursed doll

[livingimpaired]

Great minds, etc.

She is one of the few people I know that has a child.
If it is a doll possessed, being near a child might cause it to react more than around us.
Yes, I intended to get one, too -- why not?
I already was buying two so why not one more?

[ohrlyeh]

tell the truth, was this like a "buy two get one three" deal

[livingimpaired]

There might have also been a deal with the seller.

[ohrlyeh]

i meant free but anyways, how many cursed dolls was this one person selling

[livingimpaired]

Three.
They were a set and supposed to be kept together.
Which worked well.
Separate them across the city and see what would happen.

[ohrlyeh]

did the seller say where they got them

like who just has a set of cursed dolls lying around

[livingimpaired]

No.
It was very vague.
So there was a chance there wasn't any truth to it.
A large chance.
But still, there goes that dream.

[ohrlyeh]

i'm sorry it didn't work out for you :(

maybe next time you'll find another set

[livingimpaired]

Not to worry.

It's still on my mind so I'll see if I can acquire something like it at a later date.

[ohrlyeh]

isn't your account suspended though

[livingimpaired]

I am going to have to make a new e-mail and create a new username.

[ohrlyeh]

be careful

make sure they don't block your ip or something

[livingimpaired]

That is what I was worried about, too, but it all hopefully didn't block my IP address.

[ohrlyeh]

let me know

if not i can just buy you a cursed doll

[livingimpaired]

That hardly seems fair.
It was going to be a birthday present for you.

[ohrlyeh]

my birthday isn't until august, kei, it's okay

besides i'm sure you'd like something like that. even could have it sitting on your countertop to greet customers

[livingimpaired]

I know.
An early present.
One I could have time to see if it was authentically haunted for you.

You are not wrong.
I would take some small enjoyment out of it.

[ohrlyeh]

then its settled

i'll get you a cursed doll. then you can do the same for me when you get your account working

[livingimpaired]

If I ever get it working.
eBay, there was no reason to be this defensive over supposed supernatural objects.
