Not yet, wait until tomorrow.

 

They get dumber by the day.

 

I was asked the other day for an item listed, described and pictured as blue, "What color is this?"

I still think "Do you combine shipping?" when my description explicitly states that I combine shipping is the dumbest, since I get that question 3-4 times a week.

 

However, as a one-off question that one is pretty morahnic.

 

Peace,

I can understand the shipping one as people are using cell phones etc which

show nothing of the listing & you could put "item for sale is actually an empty

(used) sock" and sell it as NO-ONE reads the listing descriptions.

Going onto a listing for an item you're asking about though............

You would be surprised what I once sold my musty, trashed used flip flops for.

When I started selling on ebay about 12 years ago, I would do 200 auctions a week with detailed descriptions of the comics. At the end of the description I would insert the message

"If you've got this far, well done, email me if you win & I'll ship free of charge"

It was 3 years before anyone emailed me

I once tacked a $5 bill on a tree at eye level by the sidewalk and it was still there 3 days later so I took it down...
