What if…
You tried to sell your soul.
And god said…
“That is against our policy.”

People have tried this for years. I had a friend that tried this back when ebay was new and you could sell nearly anything. No one bid on his piece of notebook paper with “The eternal soul of Jimmy _______” and ebay took it down without any explanation at all.
That being said, I also had a friend that tried to sell a bunch of stuff an Ex had left at her place, and she got a very personal email from someone at ebay that said something like “Don’t be like this. Be better than this. Also, this violates our TOS, but really, you’re better than him, gurl!”
But the whole point of the soul is that it’s not a body part.
It’s literally the defining characteristic of the soul, which differentiates it from the physical body, which rots once it’s dead, while the soul presumably does not.
The soul is currently part of a body. And I guess if you’re selling it for after it leaves the body eventually, it’s a pre-order, and possibly also against the eBay policy?
Yeah, bad mistake there. Also, you can buy allegedly haunted relics on eBay, so apparently it’s cool as long as the soul has been laundered. What’s the harshest non-slur word for stupid these days? Because this is that.
Sidebar, apparently you can also pay to have people cast spells for you. My favourite was a $100 service that allegedly involves a nine-witch coven spending hundreds of man hours to cast anything you wish. If that’s not some kind of money laundering scam I’ll be severely disappointed.
Next time put up a mason jar with a question mark painted on it, then sell the jar, which may or may not contain your soul.
eBay really said “either way, that’s illegal” and closed the case 😭
You gotta put it into something physical and sell that.
Major nostalgia, it was a simpler time.
