9. Cozy Carrots
Cost: $0.24 for a full, raw carrot
Created by: Not sure
Acquired via eBay
It had to be a joke this one. Two carrot-shaped soft pillows, which would look adorable in any bedroom, were ordered by an eBay customer. Rather, what they received was a raw carrot adorned with a spooky black Sharpie smiley face. This prank had an even more horrific vibe because the face was smeared and not even whole.

The disastrous carrot pillow purchase has been discussed on numerous "worst eBay purchases" websites. While the previously described Xbox One was more expensive, so this may not be the worst eBay buy ever made, but it certainly ranks among the worst.
