Liz brought back some awesome eBay swag from her trip to open, and asked for an eBay themed Scavenger hunt! The hunt is on! Look for the eBay cell phone, take the call, answer the text or just click on the dang thing - you know how to play!
I'll leave it up to @shoppingaddiction to list the prizes and how she wants to award them. I'll let her pick the ending date of this hunt too!
Liz, feel free to use this thread to post prizes etc.
PS I couldn't get all of the halloween wording out this time, sorry!

Because there's STICKERS!
Who is going to pass up STICKERS? With eBay on them? In different colors?
You're welcome. I swiped a handful of them when the guy at the booth turned his head. It was like swiping my hand across the table with my bag open and no one saw it smooth...........

And the socks?
I didn't bowl. And I didn't bring a purse. Just a tiny wristlet. Grabbed myself a pair and a pair for someone here. But I didn't have any place to put them.
SO - I chucked it a mile back to my hotel with 2 big, wadded up pairs of socks in my back pockets. I said they were unworn. I didn't say they were butt sweat free.................

I have to confess my dorkiness. I've been on dozens of pages posting and didn't see a single phone, couldn't figure out what you guys were talking about so started intentionally looking for this Ebay phone and no, no matter how many pages I pulled up, I couldn't find it. Well that's because for some reason in my muddled brain I thought the phone would be little and orange. Now don't ask me why this Ebay phone should be little and orange, maybe because that's the color of the count box but by gosh this phone should be little and it should definitely be freaking orange ok OK!!!!!!! Anyways the little light bulb that's above my head flickering finally grew bright enough to tell me hey why don't you try clicking on the big annoying box with the cell phone in it, yeah that's it, you know the one that says EBAY right on the screen. The one you've been cursing at because it keeps getting in the way of your posting, you think that could possibly be the Ebay phone? Since it says Ebay and umm I don't know it's a PHONE! OMG some days I don't know how I manage to even survive without hurting myself.  |

Don't feel bad. When I first got on the boards, I saw the phone and thought an ebay advertisement was blocking my view so I deleted it.  Back up to another 148 so hope those don't disappear or I'm going to get paranoid and think they're being randomly dispersed among the boardies.  |

When I was in grade school those scratch and sniff stickers and Jolly Rangers were the hot items! If you had them you were the most popular kid in school! The only scent I want on Ebay stickers in the smell of money! Cold hard cash scented Ebay stickers! |

Cute socks, they can be someone's official listing socks. Imagine your DH or kids walking in the room and they start talking and you say Excuse me, can't you see I'm wearing my Ebay socks? I'm working here, come back later.

Does the pumpkin indicator of the cell on a thread show up for anyone else on Edge? I don't see it.
ETA: not seeing it on my laptop with Windows 7 either.

It doesn't show up until you have found a certain number of the images.
I think you have to find 10 before you see it.

Oh Ok, I just had a pop-up about looking for the pumpkin. A bit premature, I guess.
Thanks.

It's not a pumpkin, it just says "ebay". If nothing's there, it's a big red "X".

Got another pumpkin post. No X's or anything. Pumpkin said at 10, I would see it.

Okay, got it. Moved the task bar to the top and clicked on the arrow on the lower right, and the X thing showed up.

"Scratch and sniff eBay stickers" ...
SNAD = smells like sauerkaut
Negative FB = smells like sour grapes
Clueless CS rep = smells like cheap perfume
Hostile CS rep = smells like highly concentrated Axe body spray
CEO promise to improve the buying and selling experience = smells like money you'll never see

I haven't seen a single one to click on. I've played before so not sure why I'm not seeing them this time.
ETA, not that I need to spend time looking for them anyway. Too easily distracted from my listing as it is!
