ebay thread poofed?

Guess the thread that longrifle started knocking ebay got poofed. Given his crass attempt at concealing foul language it is no wonder.

If he happens to read this I would just like for him to know that ebay does take action on bad sellers. I had a bid on a diet product and knew the seller had a lot of negatives but was going to use paypal so my but would be protected anyway. Just got this email from ebay: quote:Please be advised that the following auction:

1729074570 - LOSE 90 LBS IN 30 DAYS~PROOF! #1 DIET PILL!!

was ended early by eBay. The auction was ended due to the account suspension of the seller.
All results for this auction are null and void.

Sounds like they are doing something.

Just some more of my unhumble opinion.

    The pills probably wouldn't have worked anyway. The only thing I ever took was phen-fen, and we know how that turned out. Luckily, I appear to be unscathed. Though at the time I lost the extra weight. Too bad it eventually came back. I could sure use another run now.

    Tell y'all what really irritates my behind, I know what I need to do to lose the 50 lbs I need to drop but I don't have the will power to do it. Gave up cigarettes, gave up booze, but can't give up the damn junk food. Go figure.

    gskyhawk,
    Yah, the atkins diet is great until your kidneys and liver shuts down.

    Find me someone on it for more than 2 years...........you most likely WON'T....most people have problems after a few months.

    Good luck.......that diet almost killed a friend of mine, and I know a nurse who has treated several people who were very sick from it.

    NO! You may not have my guns! Now go crawl back into your hole!

    Mercury: I understand what you're saying, I to have read about the bad things with this diet, but I don't need to be on it for 2 years, I only want to lost about 25 to 30 lb, what I'm trying to do is lose the pounds and then take what I've learn about my eating habits and change things for the better I hope, big if I know but nothing else has worked , and it's not like I sit on my back side all days ,,, I just like to eat to darn much

    Hey Pelican, it isn't the junk food, it's the "standing" invitation to "do lunch" with everybody from gunbroker. Your just too nice a guy for your own good. Try inviting everybody over for some conversation and a cup of coffee, and it will probably be just as well received.
    Good luck kicking the junk food habit. Sandman2234

    Practiced safely, as directed, the Atkins Nutrition plan is life long eating philosophy. The person above only eating meat fat and cheese is NOT DOING IT RIGHT. You must eat the carbs. Good carbs, but carbs none the less.

    Go to http://www.atkinscenter.com for the whole truth. During the ist stage you are eating abnormally to reverse the effects of the abnormal eating that got you there in the first place. The last stage is simply eating a balanced diet, mindful of the problem foods. You must take vitamin supplements and DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY. That is how you avoid kidney and liver falure.

    I have adopted the life style for four weeks now. Lost 34 pounds, and still have a long way to go. But, and I can't say this clear enough. I am religously following this plan. Never straying. Had a blood work up when I started, and am having another next month. The surprising things is.....I am never (and I me never) hungry. Not even when I get up in the morning. I used to crave sweets, not any more. I walk a mile and half each evening and do a short series of weight assisted execises 4 times a week.

    This is not a diet, its a life-long eating plan. You can't adopt part of it, that is when people get into trouble.
