I thought the soul belonged to the person but the spirit belonged to God? They are considered separate. The Bible states the spirit returns to God but the soul can be cast into the lake of fire… Or enter into glory. Depending upon your name being written in the Book of Life.
If I recall correctly, eBay’s policy on it was a little something like this:
“You can’t sell your soul on eBay. If souls exist and belong to you, you can’t sell body parts. If souls exist and belong to God, you likewise can’t sell something that doesn’t belong to you. If souls don’t exist, you can’t sell something that doesn’t exist.”
Of course they do, and of course the answer is no. There’s no way to collect. The closest thing you could do is “sell your soul to Satan”, but that’s just figurative language for doing what he wants instead of what God wants.
Possibly, but its a depressed market.
Can you donate your soul?

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Souls can be ‘bought’ this does not go into how it becomes a transactional product, but my take on it is yes you can according to scripture sell your soul, but I would need to look elsewhere to find out how this is to be done. Though I suspect that adultery with such a evil being as described here may be part of it.
I popped in to suggest this as an alternative. Wanna commit a murder but not go to Hell for it? Just lease someone else’s soul. There are plenty of people who don’t believe in the afterlife but wouldn’t mind making a quick buck in the here-and-now.
Of course, the problem then is how to conduct the switch, so you don’t accidentally spoil both, or spoil the wrong one. Can you do it ad-hoc? e.g.
“My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare t— WHOOPS! Hold on a second” ::::click:::L “prepare to die” :::skewer:::.
And does the lessor (lessee? the one who’s rending you his soul) get yours in the interim? If you screw his wife (or he, yours), is it adultery at that point? If he breaks into your house and swipes stuff, is it stealing or just a weird prank?
