Aside from the fact that the poster has an aversion to using capitals to begin sentences, that is actually pretty decently written, and even a bit entertaining. It's a clear parody of other bogus ebay listings. I even wondered if it was some weird highschool writing project (just because that would be such a cool project!).

I think the lack of capitalization is part of the joke. (My evidence is that the guy's grammar is otherwise quite good, and that it looks like he "slips" now and then and capitalizes correctly.)
I've seen some pretty unusual eBay auctions apart from that one. If I remember correctly, someone was once selling a green snake made of Play-Doh that they claimed had "magical powers."

I thought it was a spoof of those idiotic EBay haunted items and such. I know the Jesus toast people are serious most of the time though. *cough*
And yes, it is better written then I'd expect it to be. It was like when one friend of mine tries to write a parody of all the badly spelled fanfic out there. She's a good writer and said that making her grammer delibertaely bad was both difficult and painful. ^_~
That said, I am tempted to bid on it just for fun.

Wow, I can't remember the last day I didn't think "I wish I had leprechaun urine!"
A question one potential(?) bidder asks is classic: "Q: are leprechaun's even real???? And how did u get the urine form the leprechaun?"

Leprechaun urine is useful. You spray it on your shamrocks to keep the garden gnomes away.

Maybe you're thinking of the Lucky Charms cartoon variety of leprechaun but I don't recommend teasing leprechauns in this way. You'll find yourself in a world of trouble. (Let's just say getting beaten up by a deer would be mild by comparison.)
