'''eBay''' is an online auction site frequented by [[Chris]] since May [[2001]]. He has often purchased and sold stuff there.

'''eBay''' is an online auction site that [[Chris]] used from May [[2001]] to June 2019. During that time, Chris regularly purchased and sold stuff on the website. The site was also used by Chris for selling Sonichu and Chris Chan products.
 
His sales listings dramatically increased during the [[Financhu Crisis]] and [[Idea Guys]] sagas in order to raise money for creditors, bills, and more toys, and to pay off the Idea Guys so they wouldn't destroy [[CWCville]], respectively.
 
Chris is currently suspended from selling on eBay, due to poor seller performance.

During the [[Megan Saga]], [[Megan]] often got Chris to buy her stuff — pictures of World War II [[CWCville|Wehrmacht]] soldiers, [[anime]] CDs, ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' paraphernalia — from eBay, probably because she didn't have a credit card herself. In an email from 2007, Megan revealed the nature of the transactions, offering to repay Chris with "cash and or unneeded goodies",<ref>[[Megan Emails, Jan-July 2007#Another email from the "Seriously Stop Fucking Touching Me" collection]]</ref> though it seems in some cases Chris would buy things as gifts for her.

According to his feedback history as of 31 [[March 2010]], he spent $12.97 on ''[[God of War]] III ''The Forgotten Warrior Skin Code for PS3 and $9.99 for a ''God of War III'' Apollo In Game Skin Code. On 1 September 2010, he spent ''thirty dollars'' on a [[ModNation Racers]] Ratchet & Clank Mod. To put that in perspective, he could have bought the PSP version of ''ModNation Racers'' with that money, which he already did.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback">[http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=jesusguidesme2&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true eBay Feedback Profile for jesusguidesme2]</ref> The Ratchet & Clank Mod was later released on the [[PSN]] for merely $2.<ref>[http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/11/09/playstation-store-update-164/ PlayStation Store Update - PlayStation.Blog, 9 Nov 2010]</ref> Most recently, however, Chris purchased a ''Lego Friends'' promotional display stand for $30.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback"/> ''Lego Friends'' is a series of Lego aimed at pre-teen girls, as evidenced by its general kiddiness and ease of assembly.

After being MIA on eBay for 2 years, he came back in late 2012 as a buyer. A new noteworthy feedback was the Skylanders Giants Wii Bundle Pack plus Bonus, which he sold for $165.

In 2015, Chris has shown himself to be an avid consumer of Amiibos, which he buys from eBay scalpers at around $30 a pop. Chris seems to be going for a complete collection of Amiibos. In spite of the implied financial troubles that come with legal difficulties and having your home rebuilt from the Ground-Up, [[trolls]] noted that Chris bought a $30 [[Lego]] minifigure and hundreds of dollars in [[Lego]] sets; the typical spending spree for Chris ends in about $600 of tugboat being forked over to various eBayers in exchange for second-hand toys.

==Chris as a seller==
In 2016, Chris switched his interests from Amiibos to Transformers, spending hundreds of dollars on acquiring new figures, despite being neck-deep in the [[Financhu Crisis]].

===Early sales===
Since late [[2008]], when the Chris-Chan phenomenon became more widely known, people used Chris's eBay account as a means to troll him. They would bid on his auction, not pay, and then leave lulzy negative feedback.  


Early in [[2009]], Chris tried to stop this form of trolling by changing his eBay name to "[[Chris and religion|jesusguidesme2]]", and deleting information from his account. It didn't work. The account went dormant in [[September 2010]], but became active again around [[August 2012]].
On 8 September 2016, he spent $62.64 to buy a ''Titans Returns: Optimus Prime'' figure. He left feedback on the item, stating, "It was opened, and it was missing one wheel." Oddly, he still rated the transaction positive<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.661/page-644#post-1783606</ref>.


Around [[September 2009]], Chris, in a rare display of monetary wisdom, sold two of his awful [[Gitar of Fail|guitars]]. While not the autistic magnum opus we know as that [[Gitar of Fail]], "[[Old Time Rock and Roll on Shredwud|Meatwad's Shredwad]]" shows off Chris's disregard for [[Parody|copyright]] and his fail art in one fell stroke. It's perfectly okay for Chris to sell his crappy fake ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' merch, but none of those slanderous [[trolls]] can do [[Chris and hypocrisy|''the exact same goddamn thing'']] with [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']] products. He also sold his Gibson model controller, which was covered in stickers. Someone purchased both controllers for a ridiculous $90.99, plus $6 for shipping.
Chris purchased the [[$400 gold necklace]] via Ebay.


He also sold a [[Transformers|Bumblebee 2008 Concept Camaro]] claiming that it was unopened, which wasn't true.

In August 2008, Chris auctioned off a pink [[Wikipedia:LeapFrog Enterprises|LeapFrog]] [[Wikipedia:Leapster|Leapster]]. He received $29.99 for it. The Leapster is a handheld "educational" video game system marketed to children ages 4-10. It wasn't released until late [[2003]], which means that Chris was at least ''twenty-one'' when he bought it. He may have bought it because there was a [[Sonic the Hedgehog|''Sonic X'']] game available for the system. The game, which involves answering math problems to advance, is appropriate for 5-7 year olds.<ref>[http://www.leapfrog.com/en/families/leapster/leapster_learning/lg_sonic.html]</ref>
===History===
Since late [[2008]], when the Chris-Chan phenomenon became more widely known, people used Chris's eBay account as a means to troll him. They would bid on his auction, not pay, and then leave lulzy negative feedback.  


On 18 September 2013, Chris returned to eBay and tried to sell the "kre-o micro changers Series 1, 12 piece set complete" collection for $65.
Early in [[2009]], Chris tried to stop this form of trolling by changing his eBay name to "[[Chris and religion|jesusguidesme2]]", and deleting information from his account: it didn't work. The account went dormant in [[September 2010]], but became active again around [[August 2012]].


On 22 [[June 2015]], Chris opened a second, concurrent eBay account, ''pristinechristine1982'': according to his Facebook [[June 2015 Facebook Posts#New eBay Account|announcement]] in June 2015, ''pristinechristine1982'' was created to "start fresh on my selling limits and all".


===Bob's Straduarius Violin===
eBay does not allow users to create additional accounts to avoid buying and selling restrictions or limits,<ref>[https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/identity-policies/multiple-accounts-policy?id=4232 Multiple accounts policy]</ref> but Chris was able to buy and sell items without notable issues until being suspended on 16 June 2019.
In 2014 Chris used eBay extensively, not only to hock portions of the hoard, but also to sell original artwork, which drew considerable attention from his fans.


The first hint of this uptick in activity was on 28 May, and involved Chris's effort to sell what he listed as a "Straduarius" violin which had belonged to his father. Chris stated that he and his mother desperately needed to sell this family heirloom for some quick cash, even though at the same time Chris was begging his Facebook friends for expensive LEGO sets.
On 2 [[September 2015]], Chris announced on [[Facebook]] that he was moving from eBay to [[Etsy]], stating that Etsy was easier to use, but after losing his Etsy shop in [[June 2016]],<ref>[[Etsy#Shop Closure]]</ref> Chris returned to eBay as a seller, by listing Pokémon cards in [[July 2016]]. Over the next few years he would offer Sonichu and Chris Chan-related products on the site.

===Original Drawings===
He also sold a [[Transformers|Bumblebee 2008 Concept Camaro]] claiming that it was unopened, which wasn't true.
[[Image:01June2014-Original eBay Drawing.jpg|thumb|"The main image for this sale was edited to prevent forgery during listing, but a sample of the color is the secondary photo."]]
'''Main article:''' [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]]


On 1 June 2014, Chris listed an [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]], with bids reaching over $10,000 in the first day of listing. Chris offered to frame the drawing and ship it in bubble wrap, but ''"ONLY when the art is Bought Now for the full price"''. The listing was taken down mysteriously the morning after, but then reappeared later that day. Over the span of eight days, Chris attempted to force this piece of "work" to be sold at an exuberant price, only for it to be taken down repeatedly, forcing eBay to temporarily [[List of places that have banned Chris|ban]] him. He finally sold it for $200 on 1 July.
On 18 September 2013, Chris returned to eBay and tried to sell the "kre-o micro changers Series 1, 12 piece set complete" collection for $65.
 
Over the next several months, Chris listed six more drawings of his Sonichu characters, managing to sell at least one.
 
===Autographed Photos===
'''Main article:''' [[Autographed Photos]]


On 1 July 2014, Chris listed [[Autographed Photos|autographed photos of himself]] for sale, at a price of $20 each. Chris offered to write personalized messages in addition to his autograph, as long as the requests are "Not Offensive". In the eBay Q&A for the listing, he approved [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 7: Christian Chandler in "Off-Target"|"All that is down is only the floor"]] as a message, and indicated that he may possibly wear the [[Medallion of Fail|Sonichu medallion]] for an autographed photo. Indeed, a new photo of himself bedecked in the famous medal was soon on offer. Unfortunately, he stated that his red and blue "The Classic" rugby shirt was lost to [[Destruction Of Chris's House|the January 2014 house fire]], so it would not be available for photos. By 24 July 2014, 58 photos had been sold.

In September 2014, Chris began mass-producing his famed [[Sonichu medallion|Sonichu medallions]] on eBay. These proved to be very popular, and many recipients posted their prizes on the CWCki Forums for the world to see. Chris occasionally offered free medallions with the purchase of commissioned drawings or original pieces. A dramatic twist involved his dispute with one "Mr. Smith," whose (perhaps unjustified) complaints won him a special "angry eyes" Sonichu medallion.
Many of Chris's sales were due to alleged extortion from the [[Idea Guys]]. [[Guard Dog]] [[The Captain]] stated that the Idea Guys "were telling him what to sell/urging him to dig through more boxes, etc. in an effort to find things to hawk on eBay to make money for them."<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/financhu-crisis-chris-sells-his-stuff-megathread.41369/post-3675397</ref>

On 14 July, Chris listed CDs of the 1990 WTJU Jazz Marathon, which his dad hosted and which he has already made freely available through Facebook. The list price was $50, $10 of which Chris claimed would be donated to WTJU. [[Autism|Predictably]], the CD cover has [[Chris and his Ego|Sonichu]] and the words [[Chris and copyright|"(C) 2000 CWC" on it]]. eBay removed the listing, presumably over copyright infringement, and Chris angrily reposted the listing, claiming that he had permission from WTJU to sell it, which is somewhat irrelevant, and which WTJU later retracted.<ref>[http://cwckiforums.com/threads/wtju-charlottesville-radio-station-responds.4313/]</ref> Apparently, the CDs were only kept up because WTJU thought that Bob was a musician who did a set for the station and not a DJ. eBay then removed the listing a second time, but not before two hapless people had bought copies. Chris gave up on relisting the CDs and claimed he was unable to refund the buyers, but promised to ship each of them a color commissioned drawing, autographed photo, and complimentary CD instead.

On 6 December, Chris announced that he would not be able to produce or sell his artwork until 1 January 2015, as he and his mother would be busy moving back into [[14 Branchland Court]] after its renovation. But nothing happened on this day. Instead, about two weeks into the new year, Chris silently removed all his sale items from his account, making no mention of it on Facebook. Finally, on 2 February, he announced:
*M&M candy dispenser
*Old pair of shoes (with painted on Sonichu colors for zapping to the extreme)
*Four pre-1964 American coins (perhaps one of the first items Chris has ever sold to have an actual intrinsic value, given the dates of all the coins, plus the silver content of the Mercury dime)
*Throw blankets
*Set of Sonichu books (a replacement for [[Patreon]], since he'd been bleeding subscribers on that platform for failing to ship)

Relisted: More Sonichu and Rosechu Medallions for satisfied Sonichu and Rosechu Fans. Please, help me get my Seller Status back up to Standard, so I can relist the commissions and photos again. Thank You.}}


Of course, given that he was due to appear in [[26 December 2014|court]] in three days, he was taking a big risk in guaranteeing that he could fulfill orders.
==Suspension of Chris's eBay==
[[File:EBay negrates, 17 June 2019.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris's seller account rated at an abysmally low 85%, and the negative feedback it had accummulated.]]


===Sonichu Amiibo===
[[Image:Chrisebayblocked.png|thumb|Chris's response to his eBay account getting nuked.]]


In line with his demands to his quadrillions of adoring fans that they vote for [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] to appear in the upcoming Smash Bros. game, Chris expanded his merchandising endeavor and began to sell Sonichu Amiibos. Chris's customization process involves taking a new and functional Sonic Amiibo, breaking all the limbs off, reattaching them in a janky and unnatural pose with Krazy Glue, attaching Pikachu ears and tail, and slathering the whole thing in glossy paint to give it that "child's art project" look. Of course, he also does an eye-searingly pink Rosechu custom, for those [[Kenneth Erwin Englehardt|Chris merchandise completists]] out there.
On 16 June 2019, Chris's eBay account was restricted. A likely reason for this was Chris's failure to ship out items to his buyers on time or at all. When they did arrive, they would often be damaged due to poor packaging. Chris had an approval rating of 85% on eBay prior to his removal. For those unfamiliar with the eBay rating system, a sub-90% rating for a seller is extremely poor. An 85% approval rating means 3 out of every 20 customers were unsatisfied with how the item shipped. The loss of his eBay marketplace dealt yet another huge blow to his [[Monthly tugboat|monthly income]], as he had already lost his [[Etsy]] shop for similar reasons.


Bizarrely, Chris seems to be scultping the Pikachu ears for his custom Amiibos out of [[CRAYOLA FUCKIN' MODEL MAGIC]], but the tails seem to be taken from Pikachu Amiibos. As Chris could simply take the parts from any old Pikachu toy and likely save himself the money on both Pikachu Amiibos and Model Magic, trolls can only speculate on [[autism|why he would choose to do it this way]]. Trolls have accurately predicted that Chris makes barely any return on these custom jobs--with Sonichu Amiibos selling at $41 each, Chris stands to make about $11 per Amiibo sold, losing almost his entire profit margin on P&P and eBay fees alone. It's worth nothing that Chris sold out his entire stock within hours of announcing their existence - he's probably made about a hundred dollars, or, in Chris's terms, about five Lego minifigs from some eBay scalper.
Three days later, Chris confirmed that his eBay was restricted. He claimed "I don't need a listing", trying to get [[fans]] to donate money directly to him in exchange for items. Of course, anyone who would attempt such a deal does so at their own risk, since they wouldn't have buyer protection like eBay offered.


The only verified Sonichu Amiibo purchase arrived smashed to pieces and floating around in the bottom of the packaging.

Purchaser on /v/ [1]

eBay is an online auction site that Chris used from May 2001 to June 2019. During that time, Chris regularly purchased and sold stuff on the website. The site was also used by Chris for selling Sonichu and Chris Chan products.

His sales listings dramatically increased during the Financhu Crisis and Idea Guys sagas in order to raise money for creditors, bills, and more toys, and to pay off the Idea Guys so they wouldn't destroy CWCville, respectively.

Chris is currently suspended from selling on eBay, due to poor seller performance.

Chris as a buyer

Main article: List of Chris's eBay purchases

Chris bought a number of My Little Pony action figures from the site. His many eBay purchases helped Chris accumulate a debt of $2,000 on his credit card.

During the Megan Saga, Megan often got Chris to buy her stuff — pictures of World War II Wehrmacht soldiers, anime CDs, Sailor Moon paraphernalia — from eBay, probably because she didn't have a credit card herself. In an email from 2007, Megan revealed the nature of the transactions, offering to repay Chris with "cash and or unneeded goodies",[2] though it seems in some cases Chris would buy things as gifts for her.

According to his feedback history as of 31 March 2010, he spent $12.97 on God of War III The Forgotten Warrior Skin Code for PS3 and $9.99 for a God of War III Apollo In Game Skin Code. On 1 September 2010, he spent $30 on a ModNation Racers Ratchet & Clank Mod. To put that in perspective, he could have bought the PSP version of ModNation Racers with that money, which he already did.[3] The Ratchet & Clank Mod was later released on the PSN for merely $2.[4] Most recently, however, Chris purchased a Lego Friends promotional display stand for $30.[3] Lego Friends is a series of Lego aimed at preteen girls, as evidenced by its general kiddiness and ease of assembly.

After being MIA on eBay for 2 years, he came back in late 2012 as a seller. A new noteworthy feedback was the Skylanders Giants Wii Bundle Pack plus Bonus, which he sold for $165.

Immediately after listing and successfully selling various drawings (including the Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing) and multiple autographed photos in early July 2014, Chris bought several Lego minifig parts on eBay.[3]

In 2015, Chris has shown himself to be an avid consumer of Amiibo, which he buys from eBay scalpers at around $30 a pop. Chris seems to be going for a complete collection of Amiibo. In spite of the implied financial troubles that come with legal difficulties and having your home rebuilt from the Ground-Up, trolls noted that Chris bought a $30 Lego minifigure and hundreds of dollars in Lego sets; the typical spending spree for Chris ends in about $600 of tugboat being forked over to various eBayers in exchange for second-hand toys.

In 2016, Chris switched his interests from Amiibos to Transformers, spending hundreds of dollars on acquiring new figures, despite being neck-deep in the Financhu Crisis.

On 8 September 2016, he spent $62.64 to buy a Titans Returns: Optimus Prime figure. He left feedback on the item, stating, "It was opened, and it was missing one wheel." Oddly, he still rated the transaction positive[5].

Chris purchased the $400 gold necklace via Ebay.

Chris as a seller

Notice the wonderful pile of dishes. Who wouldn't want to buy something from this house?

History

Since late 2008, when the Chris-Chan phenomenon became more widely known, people used Chris's eBay account as a means to troll him. They would bid on his auction, not pay, and then leave lulzy negative feedback.

Early in 2009, Chris tried to stop this form of trolling by changing his eBay name to "jesusguidesme2", and deleting information from his account: it didn't work. The account went dormant in September 2010, but became active again around August 2012.

On 22 June 2015, Chris opened a second, concurrent eBay account, pristinechristine1982: according to his Facebook announcement in June 2015, pristinechristine1982 was created to "start fresh on my selling limits and all".

eBay does not allow users to create additional accounts to avoid buying and selling restrictions or limits,[6] but Chris was able to buy and sell items without notable issues until being suspended on 16 June 2019.

On 2 September 2015, Chris announced on Facebook that he was moving from eBay to Etsy, stating that Etsy was easier to use, but after losing his Etsy shop in June 2016,[7] Chris returned to eBay as a seller, by listing Pokémon cards in July 2016. Over the next few years he would offer Sonichu and Chris Chan-related products on the site.

Around September 2009, Chris, in a rare display of monetary wisdom, sold two of his Guitar Hero controllers. While not the autistic magnum opus we know as the Gitar of Fail, "Meatwad's Shredwad" shows off Chris's disregard for copyright and his fail art in one fell stroke. It's perfectly okay for Chris to sell his crappy fake Aqua Teen Hunger Force merch, but none of those slanderous trolls can do the exact same goddamn thing with Sonichu products. He also sold his Gibson model controller, which was covered in stickers. Someone purchased both controllers for a ridiculous $90.99, plus $6 for shipping.

He also sold a Bumblebee 2008 Concept Camaro claiming that it was unopened, which wasn't true.

On 18 September 2013, Chris returned to eBay and tried to sell the "kre-o micro changers Series 1, 12 piece set complete" collection for $65.

Many of Chris's sales were due to alleged extortion from the Idea Guys. Guard Dog The Captain stated that the Idea Guys "were telling him what to sell/urging him to dig through more boxes, etc. in an effort to find things to hawk on eBay to make money for them."[8]

  • M&M candy dispenser
  • Old pair of shoes (with painted on Sonichu colors for zapping to the extreme)
  • Four pre-1964 American coins (perhaps one of the first items Chris has ever sold to have an actual intrinsic value, given the dates of all the coins, plus the silver content of the Mercury dime)
  • Throw blankets
  • Set of Sonichu books (a replacement for Patreon, since he'd been bleeding subscribers on that platform for failing to ship)

At this point, Chris's seller account was restricted for poor performance and all his listings cancelled by eBay.

Suspension of Chris's eBay

Chris's seller account rated at an abysmally low 85%, and the negative feedback it had accummulated.
Chris's response to his eBay account getting nuked.

On 16 June 2019, Chris's eBay account was restricted. A likely reason for this was Chris's failure to ship out items to his buyers on time or at all. When they did arrive, they would often be damaged due to poor packaging. Chris had an approval rating of 85% on eBay prior to his removal. For those unfamiliar with the eBay rating system, a sub-90% rating for a seller is extremely poor. An 85% approval rating means 3 out of every 20 customers were unsatisfied with how the item shipped. The loss of his eBay marketplace dealt yet another huge blow to his monthly income, as he had already lost his Etsy shop for similar reasons.

Three days later, Chris confirmed that his eBay was restricted. He claimed "I don't need a listing", trying to get fans to donate money directly to him in exchange for items. Of course, anyone who would attempt such a deal does so at their own risk, since they wouldn't have buyer protection like eBay offered.
