  • WWYD? slightly O/T but weird request from stranger

    I'm selling loads of Ethans stuff on ebay (anyone wanting to have a sneeky peek let me know lol Wink

    so someone contacts me about a rocha snowsuit i'm selling and asks what way i normally put the snowsuit on, infact i'll post the question:

    this is it..

    Hello I hope you don't mind me asking,i am very intersted in your suit. but I am after a bit of advice on the best way to get a baby into a snowsuit at this age. 
    I remember vaugley a few years ago seeing one put on where the mum started with him sitting on her knee on the sofa and finished with him laying across her knees to pull his zip up. 
    Do you or anyone you know do it like this at all and do you always have the zip right down so its under the bum area before putting it on,I think this women did and do you zip slow so to be gentle or nice and fast so they dont wriggle out. 
    Also what is the best way to get baby out of the snowsuit,the one I saw started with him flat across her knees to pull the zip down and then sat him up do you or anyone you know do it like this and do you unzip it right down under the bum. 
    I hope you dont mind me asking I'm just trying to find a method that works best. 
    Kind regards and many thanks Lisa x

     

    so i replied, being nice and then received another reply back saying thank you so much and she was def going to bid for the snowsuit and she wished i could send some pics or video of putting the suit on. Eek

    Now it may just be me always thinking the worst but why the hell would someone request that from you. Also there's no one even watching the snowsuit i.e. she was supposedly going to bid. I've checked them out on ebay and they have bought and sold only 6 times and don't appear to be dodgy but I was thinking that I was going to email ebay as I find it quite disturbing that someone would request pics or a video of you dressing a baby. It could be harmless enough but still. 

    would you report them? I've got no intention of even replying to them but feel like i should report it.

    Sorry to say this but I think that 'Lisa' might not be so nice. I would contact Ebay, just to let them know. They might have had other complaints about the person so it wouldn't hurt to tell them what has happened.

    I had a man ring me up after I was in the paper and after a while it turned out what he really wanted me to do was to describe to him in detail how I would strangle a chicken. He was obviously getting off on it, so there are some very strange people out there Confused

    I would just reply that you dont have any pics or videos. If they bid that's up to them.

    ETA and if they dont bid, then I might consider approaching ebay with copies of the messages.

    It does sounds like an odd thing to ask about.  If you're not comfortable with it I would report it to ebay.

    That does sound very odd to me! Tbh, ebay are notoriously rubbish when it comes to things that are reported so I can't imagine they'll do anything, but I guess it can't hurt to try.

    but then, if it is someone dodgy, surely they wouldn't get much of a kick out of seeing a baby being put into a snowsuit IYSWIM??

  • Re: WWYD? slightly O/T but weird request from stranger

    Then they can look on youtube. It sounds far too weird. It's no different to putting a sleepsuit on a baby.  The whole details about putting over the knee just sits wrong with me.  I'd report straight off tbh.

    Definately sounds a bit wierd to me, especially the knee bit and zipping 'slow or nice and fast' ?! WTF!?

    It's made me feel a bit sick, I would report it. x

    Agreed, I think it's disgusting, definately not normal and I would report it and tell them what I think. I cant believe that. Some people aye?! I'm not normally so cynical but that don't sit right with me at all. It's shocking.

  • Re: WWYD? slightly O/T but weird request from stranger

    This is really strange and it rings a bell as I think I had something similar when I was selling a snowsuit a year or so ago.  The message isn't in my Ebay anymore as I just checked, it is too old.

    It really does sound so familiar and I thought it odd at the time but Ebay seems to be full of wierdies.

    I would ignore, block her from bidding, sounds like a loon to me.
