Guess What? eBay wrapping paper up for grabs
12/12/2008 at 18:44
Guess What? We managed to get our hands on 50 sheets of eBay “Guess What” wrapping paper. This is the stuff the eBay elves have been giving out to commuters at busy mainline train stations.
We’re not going to be buying that many presents so we’ll send 5 sheets for free to the first 10 readers that post in comments below, saying why they’d like some! We’ll contact you (using the email address you enter when leaving your comment) to request your mailing address.
While we’re willing to post world wide (we know eBay love those cross border transactions) we’ve already passed the final posting date for Christmas for readers outside Europe, so you might not get the paper in time for Christmas but it’ll be perfect for birthday gifts.
If you’ve bought someone a Christmas present on eBay why not finish it off by presenting it in Guess What wrapping paper?

Hey, great idea. I’d love some wrapping paper for those ‘special’ gifts. Doesn’t everybody shop on eBay for Christmas gifts?

I teach folks how to sell on eBay. I’ll pass this out to my students.

I need some to line the bottom of my hamster cage. Actually he hasn’t got a cage… and I don’t really have a hamster… So you better give it to someone who has a better use

I’d love some eBay wrapping paper because then I can make it look like I bought my Fiance “eBay” for Christmas.
She’s been going on all year about how she’d love to find a multi-million dollar earning Internet auction business in her stocking and at least with this paper, I can create the illusion I got one for her….even for a few minutes.
Infact, once she unwraps she may find a lump of coal because her behaviour has not been great of late.

*looks round quickly for Northy*
OK he is not here, so it would be nice to wrap my present to him in eBay paper, as I know he eats, breaths and sleeps eBay, now he can wipe for eBay
But shhhhhhhhhhh, don’t tell him!

I don’t have an email
Probably because there is a typo in my email addy
I missed the e out of blueyonder
Is it too much to ask that you try again
Really really would like the wrapping paper – am thinking of using it to decorate my office – it’s not a very big office

Well I have to say that I am deeply disappointed not to have received my item in ‘minus one’ days like Ebay lead me to believe I should.
**wonders whether to start an INR dispute and leave a neg**
Only kidding….
