Creepy eBay message

[bluerose9978]

I received the following message on eBay from nichfue13:

"hey yaddy just wantde to you im such a bromie like honeslty loveee my ittle pony and i would appreciate if you could put the little mans in a mason jar and fill it up with yur life juice for me. thanks bb respond when you get the chance im currently going through a very rough divorce and hoenstly i think its time i explore my passion of dolls in life juice byeeeee"

They have 0 feedback and have never purchased anything from me before and I have never bought anything from them. I have blocked them and wondered if anyone knows if there is some way I can report this? Or am I just overreacting? I've never gotten a message like this before on eBay.

Someone is trolling you because you are a my little pony collector. Not only that but it's disturbing and seems to be talking about bodily fluids. I would report them to Ebay as well as blocking them. I've had disagreements on Ebay but I've never been targeted like that. How horrible.

That is a creepy message.   I would also report the message if you can.

That is very disturbing, I'm so sorry you received that message.

I think they removed the option to report a message directly from the message itself on eBay. However, if you have Facebook I would recommend finding the "eBay for Business" page there and sending a private message reporting the incident from there. I have had luck reporting issues that way when the phone based customer service was no help. I generally do not have an active FB account but will reactivate just to get help from that page.

My husband and I share an eBay account and the account is under his info. Apparently he thinks my husband sells ponies and is making fun of it. When I have looked under eBay's policy it says I can report it if it falls under hate speech or if it's abusive speech. Does this qualify in your opinions?

"Life juice"

Yeah, go on and report it. Someone is clearly trolling/bothering you.

Definitely a troll, do not be afraid or anything. It was just someone very bored that day. I understand what that user is saying, it's a reference to some kind of "experiment" someone made. It's extremely gross but otherwise harmless. Internet being the internet, you know.
I guess you could report him or something, but he's expecting it. It's not worth the effort, really.

[Artemesia's Garden]

I think its abusive and would report it.

[Leave a Whisper]

That is really creepy. I'd save that message for evidence and report them asap. Then block them.

[Taffeta]

I feel really sorry for people who make posts like that.

It's definitely offensive, and I probably would report it, but after that I'd just go on with life.

I don't know if it is 'hate crime' so much as 'troll with no life'...

OK, he's been reported. I just noticed that he just joined eBay today. So I doubt he'll be a member on eBay long. Just joined to harass people. But I hope everyone blocks him so they don't get the same message. Maybe some kid playing around or someone with nothing better to do.

That's disgusting! I'd report him too!

Methinks from the message practicing his/her spelling, grammar and punctuation might be something s/he could spend more time doing.

[starrynights]

Definitely a troll. It's referencing a meme you don't want to know the details of.

[bluerose9978]

Aha. So it's probably some kid who thought it would be funny. And I assume my husband and I are a random target.
