Stupidest Ebay moment....

tomstickland

I sold an unused Highway Code. It said "2000 edition" on it so I listed it as such. Someone bought it, paid with Paypal, I posted it 1st class.
Four days later I received a message
"thanks for the Highway Code, it's arrived safely and in good condition.

However, it's not actually what I expected. You listed it as a 2000 edition, but it's actually a 1998 second edition. I'm collecting every highway code ever issued, so this is important to me. I'm in a quandary about your feedback now, since you've not listed the item correctly.
Luckily I don't actually have this edition in my collection yet.

What a trainspotter!

I had a buyer once who collected whistles (and I dont mean suits either) and he bought an old police whistle off me.

Think I can beat that, I sold a Coalport figure and when the buyer received it she returned it as it was 'not what she expected'. I had listed it with a photograph and full description !

I also received a mail once from someone pointing out that I had a spelling mistake in my listing - get a life !!

It not a bad thing if the spelling mistake is in the Title ( ive had many a bargain this way ).

Knowing what a stickler you are for spelling I thought it prudent to point out that it's "Homer". The jury's out on how to spell "DOOOOOHHHHHHHH".
