They could do with a spell checker. This made me chuckle though

ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION

ANY ITEM YOU BUY OR SELL ON EBAY IS LEGALLY BIDDING CONTRACT

What is a legally bidding contract?
Their auctiva and sellathon links don't work.
I'd hope that all that would put people off buying, it certainly doesn't look like it would be a good buyer experience.

Oh, if they changed to 'immediate payment' they wouldn't get any non payers, seems like a simple solution.

Considering their grasp of the English language, I get the feeling they've only just stopped playing with the products they're selling

No capitalisation, no punctuation, and appalling spelling. Also, who needs 7 ebay accounts??? Surely the most you'd need is 4 (1 each of buying and selling accounts, for private and business use)

Also, isn't this against the duplicate listings policy thingy (not to mention they've spelt safEty wrong (unless it's a brand name)?

Hmm I'm tempted to bid and not pay! lol. Wonder if they really would? They'd never be able to enforce it, especially if they don't send the item - as you usually wait for payment then send the item. If you win the item, don't receive it, there is no debt!

Hmm, sure they are really going to employ debt collectors. Also 1971!!!! are they joking... we have one of these for our 3yr old and they are still in the catalogue.
