Best question asked??

Thought this would be a good topic for a new thread.


Today I received a Q from an Ebayer re one of my products.


They quoted the item number then simply asked

"How much if I buy more than 1 of these?"




Anyone else got some good examples?

    I listed a Brownie uniform once, and a lady asked "Will it fit my daughter, she's fat"

    Cue the questions from the prospective buyer like 'can you send a picture of it?'. Then 'can you send a picture of you holding it? I want to guage the size.'

    Then it'll be 'can you send a picture of you holding it, but naked?' :eek:

    Haha!!!! Excellent!!!
  • One of my recent ones- I was selling something that I didn't want to post ouside the UK, so it states in the listing "post to: United Kingdom", then in big red letters in description itself it states "shipping within the UK only, no exceptions", and just incase I blocked international bidders from buyer settings too(just as well!),
    so I get a message from Italian ebayer saying he tried to bid on my item three times(!) trying both of his accounts(!), and ebay doesn't let him, can I do something about it. !!!!!!!
  • 'I need this urgently. It needs to be here in time for my daughers birthday. Can you guarantee this?'

    No details as to the birthday. <shakes head>

    And another....

    'Is the BLUE Le Creuset <item number> cast iron fondue YELLOW? Is it made by a UK company such as Tefal?'

    No. It is made by Le Creuset and it is BLUE. <pours glass of wine and gives up>
