No, I don’t mean sell your body on a virtual corner of the internet.

But, in another sense, that is exactly what I mean. We have all heard the stories: so-and-so is offering his forehead so you can tattoo your logo on it, who-sits is saying he’ll wear a t-shirt for a year with your brand name screen-printed upon it, whats-his-name is…you get the idea.

I did an extremely thorough three minute search on eBay for finds such as these, and it turned up nothing. Don’t let this stop you! That just means there is less competition for such shenanigans. One reason that this search turned up nothing could be that eBay actually has a “Human Remains and Body Parts Policy“ which basically states that you can’t sell body parts on eBay. An example kindly provided by eBay is the sale of your organs; so there goes your God-given right to get rid of that extra kidney. Not to worry, not to worry. Those silly eBay policy makers made a lot of loopholes that allow you to sell parts of your body within certain contexts.

You could sell your virginity on eBay as this enterprising young woman did. Of course, if you don’t have that to sell (shame!), or you are a man, this won’t net you too much. Not to worry! There are always ways to sell your body on eBay! According to this blog, a guy sold his voice on eBay. The post goes on to say what that exactly means: the high bidder’s name gets yelled out every 15 minutes by the seller at his place of work. Highest bid? $750 smackaroos.

In this economic climate, it generally is not a great idea to go around screaming in the workplace. There are much more quiet, if intrusive, ways to make money selling your body. Which leads me to what I alluded to at the beginning of the post: the guy who sold his forehead advertising space on eBay. He made, according to this site, 16,000 British pounds a month advertising on his forehead. However, I have a feeling you could make more if you didn’t wuss out and actually used permanant tattoo ink.

Let’s get down to brass tacks…what could you possibly make on eBay with your body? Seriously, though, your body is priceless. Selling it out to the highest bidder is ridiculous!

That is, of course, if you think you could make more setting a high ”Buy It Now” price.
