Nope - very anoying and guaranteed to be ignored.

Just out of interest how much are you selling your item for, just howwwww cheeky are they being LOL

I have sold a few items over the years to eBayers who ask in a light hearted or cheeky way for a deal in this way, but only when the item looked like it was a slow seller and the price wasn't ridiculous - sometimes it is better to do that than let fees whittle any profit away. One of those buyers has bought 3 other items this month from me and leaves me wonderful feedback, so I've come out on top with that one!

We all know the saying "If you don't ask, you don't get!"

They rarely even warrant more than a click of the delete button from me - especially the ones that are sent as a "Contact A Member", rather than the "Ask Seller a Question".

Same as text speak - I tend to just reply with a short copy and pasted "Thanks for your interest, unfortunately I only speak and write in English, so can not answer your query".

if the item was a slow seller i might have said that i can't do it for £20 inc p&p but i'd do it for £20 plus p&p or £25 inc p&p. (actually no i wouldn't have said that to her due to her feedback!)

anyway the item is a good seller, i am the cheapest buy it now inc p&p for this item on ebay and i have no trouble selling them at this price at all. if she wants it she will have to pay more and get it from another seller as i blocked her after reading her awful feedback.

So it worked out well really as you were able to block the buyer before they caused you a problem.

As I said I wouldn't have said 'yes' either unless I didn't think the item would sell well. I wonder why the buyer chose you and not one of the more expensive sellers?
