Does "wrongful removal" mean that the first issue was taken down against Chris's wishes? Or is he just butchering the english language again?

Or maybe it's both. Reading this stuff makes my head hurt.

Don't think about it too long. You might catch something.

It was taken down by ebay for a couple of different reasons. 1) people reported it as fraudulent or copyright material, 2) even ebay can see weird activity when the shittiest drawing anyone's ever seen is going for 14k, and 3) they probably thought there was some fishy business going on when a single shitty drawing is getting a shit ton of bids. Probably thought some sort of 'donation' scam or maybe money laundering or something. I remember back in the day there was a girl who sold really shitty hats 'she made' for like hundreds of dollars. They weren't ever big enough for anything more than a newborn baby's head. Turns out she was a prostitute/escort and that's how her john's paid her.

Well, the bid's already surpassed the original BIN option and has jumped the bid from $100 to over $500.

Chris is more than just a little responsible, though. He could have listed this drawing as an immediate sale classified for $50 and it would have sold immediately. After the $10 insertion fee and 10% sale price fee he would have pocketed a fast $35, and that's not bad for a few minutes effort. But Chris didn't want to pay the $10 insertion fee and wanted $100 or more for his art. So yes, the weens ruined this sale for Chris, but they couldn't have done that had Chris not been so greedy in the first place.

My money's on ebay having removed it. I believe he said something like "stradivarius copy" (even though it was spelled incorrectly). Ebay strongly frowns upon the notion of putting a word in your title to misleadingly attract buyers.

There are quite a few "Stradiuarius copy" violins that have been listed ebay though (admittedly none are asking as much as Chris - most are $100 or less), so I don't think that's the reason why ebay pulled the listing. There was a company back in the 1970's that made a lot of these, and a lot of people just copy the label description into their listing like what Chris did (though most don't call it a fiddle).

I think it's more likely that ebay put an automatic hold on all Chris' listings, regardless of what is being offered, because of the ween shenanigans going on with his sonichu drawing listing. That's what I would do if I suspected a seller was being plagued by dishonest bidders or something else suspicious was happening, at least until it had been sorted out.

Interest rates... Let me think; it has something to do with his credit cards. Okay I don't really agree about interest rates but at the same time, there's reasons why they exist both good and bad.

That's Chris butchering English. "Rising interest rates" means that there's lots of people interested in his auction. It still doesn't mean anyone's gonna fucking pay up.

The funny thing is, if he would just swallow his pride and set up a buy-it-now only listing with a reasonable price, he could make some money right now. But instead he has to keep holding out for the BASICALLY PROMISED $500, so he'll keep getting trolled.

Did it get posted on 4chan again? That's what brought in the first tidal wave that drove it over $10K.

I think Chris pulled the first one down on his own volition because he was getting a bunch of :julay: messages and knew he was getting trolled. His most recent posting reflects that.
 
Chris answers a new question:

Q: How do I know this was created by the True and Honest Christian Weston Chandler and not an imposter? I saw another listing on Ebay that claimed they drew the original. Thanks.
A: That listing is a FAKE, plus it is in a frame, a faker would NOT invest in the bold listing, AND I AM The original artist, Christian Weston Chandler.

Christian could already monetize ebay if he weren't such a greedy 'tard. He could immunize his listings from troll-bidding by just setting them as a "Buy it Now," which would sell the item only for a set price as opposed to an auction process. As it is, the 'tard probably thinks he's leaving money on the table if he went strictly "Buy it Now," because his legions of fans are desperately and ruthlessly bidding on his art, scrambling to get second mortgages and selling their firstborn children to finance their bids.

Also, the "art" he's selling isn't anything of importance to Christory, like the Medallion of Fail or "shecameforcwc," nor is it even a particularly lulzy panel of Sonichu like "My Love Quest Is Finally Over." I could be wrong, but I'm guessing any "art" Christian produces that doesn't have a clear link to the golden age of trolling will sell for less than $50, and even that might be generous. The big question is whether Christian, given his sense of entitlement and his attitude towards anything resembling work, would even stick with selling his art for amounts less than $50.

I mean, in theory, Christian could make money by collecting bottles and cans on the side of the road for their recycling value, but the only thing stopping him is his work ethic and skewed ideas about money. In the end, the biggest obstacle to Christian Weston Chandler earning money is the same as it always has been: Christian Weston Chandler.

"Bidders with ZERO or Less than TEN Positive Feedback will also fall under the suspicious category and may be considered for Blocking as well."

So now he's demanding that we give him as much positive feedback to help him look good or we'll be considered for blocking? I've half a mind to make an account just to give him negative feedback just for that. Well, typical Chris though. Not really surprising.

You think people will start troll bidding this one too?

530 now, last time I looked. Looks like the weens are back. You'd think they'd at least wait till the last hour to have a bidding frenzy, I've had bidding frenzies on some of my items where the price might double in the last hour due to last-minute bidders. I've seen good items where it seems like not many people are interested, and then price would triple, quadruple, or more over the last hour or even last 15, 10, 5 minutes from people seeking to snag a good item like a TV, jewelry, and so on.
