The author of the advertisement, a former journalist Geritt Seks divided Belgium into three parts (Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia ) and put them on sale separately, since according to him, purchasing the whole country would be too expensive.
The most amusing detail in this entire story is the fact that Seks warned the prospective owners about the 300 million national debt. In case of purchasing separate pieces of Belgium, each new owner would have to pay just 100 million euros each.
As Seks has later commented, his sole aim was to attract attention, what he undoubtedly achieved, as he has become a favorite respondent of the reporters
The Spokeman of the EBAY say : this is not the first time Belgium is put on sale.
