That's feedback he got, the guy leaves the weird feedback when buying stuff from others...
I don't think his feedback to sellers is funny at all, rather disturbing.

Werner, humor differs from culture to culture. In this case, this guy is an absurdist, while I've noticed that your approach is quite literal. My wife's culture also interprets humor in a more literal fashion; this wasn't funny to her, and a good many of the references didn't connect, either.
I noticed how his comments started out as the usual eBay feedback drivel (which I also engage in: go along to get along and all that...), but as time passes, his humor gets more and more outre. EBay has deleted a lot of his feedback that he's left for others; whether as a general policing matter or at their request is arguable.

Humour does differ from culture to culture, sometimes even within one country like Germany or France there are difference between coastal and mountain regions.
I guess you're right about me and humour. All I know is that I'm not typically dutch in what I like, more belgian.
Humour as in Monty Python's wasted on me, as I just don't get it - similar to the feedback humour.
Oh well..
