    I especially like the bit about 'NO that will be NO refund' if it gets lost in the mail:rotfl: Good luck enforcing that love.

    That's the main part I picked up on.

    Also if my child didn't like the colour or changed their mind, then I certainly wouldn't get them another one. :eek:

  • Looking at her feedback, the last item she sold got 'lost' in the post. Maybe she is wary of it happening again so is only offering recorded. Maybe she is not rude but not very clever and comes across as being rude in writing. Bless!

    I hope I never meet that child - I have to say I would expect her to be more than a little bit like Veruca Salt out of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory!!

  • Surely it would have been best to have asked what colour she would want it in?
    Or if not, ask her if that is the colour she wanted before the box is opened so it can be returned to the retailer without any hassle and either swapped or refund given.


    :/
  • She states it comes with a game but not what the game is? Might be a good selling point!

    Also, she needs to learn to type in proper sentences and not in such large lettering...it makes my eyes hurt.

    That's why it is better to check the seller's feedback first and read their description really well... if you think it's too good to be true or something is wrong or not right in the listing, better not bid on it...

    oh dear... but oh, you never know, it could be deliberately bad to get attention, or written by a child pretending to be older than they are, or perhaps written when blindingly drunk, or by a recent immigrant with poor command of the english language - let's hope so rather than let it be indicative of the literacy standards of today.

    A little more has been added now. She seems keen to make clear she isn't scamming!
