A copy of the 'survivor issue' of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo placed on eBay by a Kent seller received a £100,000 bid.

The Ashford-based seller, dukesofhazardbosshogg, listed the item earlier today - the same day it went on sale at newsagents.

The magazine was listed on the online action site as: "Charlie Hebdo Friday 14th January UK Special Edition Prophet Mohammed*"

The bidding started at £10, before quickly jumping £500, then reaching £5,000, £10,000, £15,000, £20,000 and £90,000.

The bidding war ended at 6pm today after reaching £100,000.

The seller described the item as: "Copy of this special edition available and posted first class on Friday morning. Featuring pictures of the Prophet Mohammed*"

They add that it is a "very important and tragic edition of this magazine to commemorate the victims of recent events", before adding "Je suis Charlie".

The seller has a second copy of the magazine on the site for £3,400, which has had 30 bids.

This item will end at 8.30pm.

People queued at kiosks across France this morning for the first edition of the weekly to go on sale since last week’s attacks.

Some newsagents reported selling out within 15 minutes.

The demand prompted bosses to order a further two million copies of the special edition, meaning five million will go on sale in total.

Islamist gunmen murdered eight journalists at Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris over previous depictions of the Prophet Mohammed.

In total 17 people were killed last week in France.
