The eBay auction reads as follows…
“Would you like REALLY impress your friends? The most exclusive wallets belts lamps – or anything it’s about your imagination. Humans skin crafting has a rich traditions; genuine reason to sell. I’m still alive so you get your material after my death and it’s great investment. Product out of this natural material reach the highest prices on a market, so you get whatever you ask for if for re-sell. Human leather is the finest grain leather that is obtainable. Is the smoothest, softest leather on Earth. On top of that that the skin is already tattooed artistically in a unique design: jaguar skin. The tattoo covers 90 per cent. It takes 300+ hours to complete that such a work. The size is approximately 2 square meters, in great condition (I’m vegetarian). Delivery arranged through correspondence. Any question do not hesitate to ask (a snake is NOT included)”.
Eventually the advert disappeared from eBay, probably because it goes against eBay rules: you can’t sell “humans, the human body, or any human body parts”. That’s a pretty sensible caveat really, you don’t want poor people whipping out a kidney to fund their next hit on the crack pipe do you?
