| | |  Exclusive: Criminal bids halt Potter clothing auction
An online celebrity auction featuring clothes from actors Emma Watson and Rupert Grint and other celebrities will be repeated for a second time after eBay cancelled it due to criminal bids. As the charity auction was closing on Friday (7th March) for the top five items totaling £5,235, eBay ended all bids when it transpired that the leader turned out to be a fraudulent bidder using a stolen eBay identity.
Jane Arnell, director of fundraising for Sense.org, told SnitchSeeker that: Quote:
We are absolutely appalled this crime has taken place. These vital funds could have been spent on much needed holidays for five deafblind children. Second time around potential bidders will be asked to provide a form of upfront identification to be pre-approved. It’s a simple procedure and we hope it doesn’t stop people from bidding again.
Among the items in question were an army fatigue jacket from Rupert Grint and a T-shirt and waistcoat combo from Emma Watson.
To bid in the auction, which will begin tomorrow evening, click here.  | |

Ugh. It makes me sick to see idiots ruin something that is for such a good cause. I honestly don't know how some people live with themselves.

That's really horrible!!! It's such a shame, especially the part about the deaf/blind children. =( Hopefully the bids will all be good this time, and we can help get some money to those kids!

PLEASE tell me these SFB's can be prosecuted. To deny children something like this is absolutely inhuman.

I can't believe some people but sadly those types do exist. I hope the problem gets rectified as soon as possible.
