I don't think so because the ' is used when two words are shortened and put together.

i.e. don't is do and not......I can't see the word "anyone's" being anyone and another word put together can you? Doesn't make sense to me....

Possessive indefinite pronouns such as anyone's and each other's use an apostrophe. So, yes, anyone's is correct and anyones is not. Not in this context of course, but it could also have an apostrophe as a contraction ie if anyone's (anyone is) going to the pub etc,

Hi, as Jennifer says above (Jennifer's reply) the apostrophe is there when something belongs to someone as in this is Seeker's reply.

Didn't want to come on all pedantic in my first post I just thought it was funny you correcting grammar and missing the apostrophe!

Maybe I'm better at grammar than punctuation

lazy............. Only a couple of days ago you were telling us how you buy phones off eBay..and sell only to mates and contacts , not on eBay. Changed your mind ?
Also...a question to anyone who's read this thread...

Would you knowingly buy a phone off someone who's underage, uses another person's account and with low feedback.......especially if it's a second hand phone from this person who is also trying to avoid paying eBay's listing fees???

errr.....lets get one thing straight mike. There are thousands of people selling second hand phones and who is avoiding fees? I asked if I would get my listing fees back because I got a call from an old workmate who wanted it.

Low feedback has nothing to do with someone buying an item off me, I actually have 10 feedback atm, and yes all positive. I have bought a phone off ebay recently and have sold 2, 1 of which I sent off abroad yesterday, I USE MY SISTERS ACCOUNT for the 100th time. If I was to somehow make a fake account with fake bank details etc etc etc, why would I be selling and buying? people who get fake details and so on conn other members of ebay.

I dont have to explain everything to you, you might not like it that I get to use ebay coz im just underaged, but what can YOU do about it? It's under my sisters name who gives me full permission to buy and sell, anything that goes wrong would be her fault and we both know that.

Have you managed to end the item yet?
