The name alone turns me off. What were they thinking?!

I actually posted this listing because the seller is stating a free item with purchase in the subtitle but if you look at the listing, a buyer would not receive a free item at all. Instead, seller says to check their store page. Seller is doing a raffle. If the buyer leaves feedback or signs up for the store letter then their name will be entered into a drawing.
Strike 1- Misleading title
strike 2- Misleading description, you have to read it a time or 2 before you realize that the purchase will not have the free product
strike 3- running a lottery on ebay.
Wonder how long before ebay shuts them down?
As for the name "Thieves Oil", it has a very interesting history and is a good natural product that helps kill bacteria and viruses.
It got its name from the legend of a group of thieves who were robbing the homes of black plague victims during the Dark Ages.
No one at the time understood how the plague traveled and everyone lived in fear of the plague and would not go near a plague victim or into their houses. Yet somehow these thieves could rob the homes without getting sick. When the Thieves were caught, the king demanded to know how they had protected themselves. It turns out the thieves were herb merchants who covered themselves with oils made from herbs. It is believed the thieves used oregano, thyme, cinnamon and possibly rosemary.
Today science has shown that oregano, thyme and cinnamon oils are some of the strongest natural anti-microbials available so thieves oil blends have become very popular with people who are looking for natural alternatives to drugs.
