The massive pink outfit listed on eBay was an original costume from the mid-1990s, which was made by the BBC's costume supplier for an overseas version of the show.
"Unfortunately before it could be delivered the overseas show was cancelled and neither the broadcaster or the BBC's production team wanted it – so it sat in my office until a move meant it came home with me some years ago," they said.
The seller – blobby01 – said the yellow-spotted outfit needed to go as they were now moving house.
They also warned that whoever won Blobby would have to sign an agreement as the character is trademarked, and therefore subject to copyright.
"This costume/prop can only be for personal home display use," the listing said.
"There can be no unauthorised use – including but not limited to hiring out, lending, public exhibition or any performances.
