The video features YouTuber Shane Dawson attempting to sell his used underwear on eBay as a joke, inspired by stories of people selling weird celebrity items online. He lists the underwear for 1 cent, expecting no one to actually bid on it. However, the bidding quickly escalates to over $30,000, with 94 bidders participating.
Shane is shocked and unsure of what to do, considering donating the money to charity if it's real. He contacts eBay to verify the bids, and they respond that the sale is legitimate.
However, just as the bidding is about to close, eBay contacts Shane to inform him that he is not allowed to sell used underwear on the platform. Shane is forced to cancel the listing, but is unable to do so due to the existing bids.
In the end, eBay removes the post, and Shane decides not to pursue the sale. He reflects on the experience and considers creating a new listing for a different item to be sold for charity.
