Didn't know that there was an actually a viable market for this outside of the occasional cursed doll/Jesus pancake bidding for 1k+.

Good. Admittedly I was unaware that these things were available on ebay mainly because I thought it was actually a grown up company.
HA HA this is awesome. I have a couple of friends who do this on ebay. They sell "spells and curses" to make good things happen to you or make bad thing happen to your enemies. These guys are completely lying to anyone who buys them and they just say that they cast the spell after you buy it but they lie. You be surprised at how much money you can make doing this. A lot of people will make fake accounts and buy their own product with other fake accounts so that they can give fake reviews and add positive feedback to themselves, making them look like a reputable caster or charmer or w/e they are claiming to be. All I know is that they have enough money from this to live together in a 3 bedroom house and play video games all day while only working at bestbuy >_>. I hope they get shafted from this change and actually find a way to contribute to society.

I don't agree/disagree with it's placement here, simply I disagree with the judgement practically every poster before me has had on this subject...Truth be told, I know the vast majority of these on ebay are scams and shouldn't be there...That still doesn't make them any less legitimate for those seeking them.
Your mother's advice was right in this situation, if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.

The people that believe these things? Fair enough, that's up to them and i'm not here to tell them otherwise but the ability to scam people on these things is so unbelievably high it shouldn't have had the section in the first place. It's not something that can be monitored as easily as other products. I don't like the idea that just because someone has a particular belief that they should be taken for a ride and scammed, for I a lot of people would be willing to do that just to get ahead. That's where my attitude lies.
Apologies for the misunderstanding.

granted selling liquid potions is probobly not good, spread disease or sickness since people at home are probobly just brewing up every random weed they find in the garden and throw some green color in the mix and you got a potion.
Hey this Potion Relieves Almost ALl Pain! Main Ingredients include Tetrodotoxin, cocaethylene and batrachotoxin yay!

Potions and vaccines etc. have existed for thousands of years...They pre-date modern religion.
If they had been "just brewing some random weed", there would currently be nobody left on the planet to believe in modern religion.
Herbalists are actually paid a tremendous amount for their craft and there are actually certain "potions" that defy the beliefs of science.
Just because you don't comprehend or accept something, doesn't make it any less real.
I'd suggest having an open mind...

So no magic potions unless they're in the forms of pills and creams...like "facelift in a bottle", or pills to increase breast size or to replace exercise.

you talk out of your arse too, Why should I believe that simply becaus we have seen Billions of examples of Proper Apothecary that I should Blindly agree with you,
Did you not notice that there are Billions of examples of Apothecary gone wrong as well??
Just look at the US in the Old Days, we used to sell Tonics for everything. like Cocoa Cola being packed with Cocaine for its numbing effects being sold as a Health Tonic, not a soft Drink.
How many items in the old Days included Arsenic too?
what I am saying, is people will do anythign to make a buck, do they outnumber the Legit people on Ebay? Probobly.
If I were to market a Potion as a long time botonist would you buy it?
I swear it will relieve all of your Pain. Main Ingredients include Tetrodotoxin, cocaethylene and batrachotoxin yay!

Agian, please remember, there have been MANY people who make a killing of selling Tonics made of Arsenic to people before modern medicine. And many of those people will invoke anything, God's Gift to Man, Gods Water, Holy This etc. PLenty of Example if you look for them

If you were a long-time proven botonist and I had a belief/personal stake in your profession, yes I would buy it...However, your grammar is terrible, you rarely complete a proper sentence and your thoughts are jumbled...Beyond those points as a limiting factor, if I believed enough in what you were doing, yes I'd buy your product.
What you're failing to acknowledge is that, there's a legitimate craft here...One that pre-dates modern religion of any kind...And one that's existed successfully for THOUSANDS of years...So regardless of your billions of failures...It's obviously worked because not only does it still exist but, most of it was used for our modern medicine...Penicillin anyone?
Having faith in a successful apothecary is absolutely nothing new...Mocking one from a religious perspective, is.

Well... if they donated 50-75% of their proceedings to the poor, hungry, or homeless, I would have zero ethical quandaries with this, in fact I would have great respect for them.
