Some listings really shock me

  • What made me laugh / cringe is the god awful spelling! And has she never heard of a full stop?

    I hope she doesn't sell it. She deserves to keep it after forking out for a second one for her kid based on dislike of colour, being too lazy to find a photo of a red one for the list and using font sizes and text colours that make my eyes hurt! Idiot.

    AGH! My eyes, my eyes!

    Did the text need to be so big? Or in so many different colours! And OMG how spoilt is her kid!

    The item last bid was for £72 and this was below the reserve. What did she expect the item to get there are lots of Nintendo DSI on ebay and all are better advertised than hers.
    The person who bid on her item, 94% of there bid history has been on items she has being trying to sell! Can someone smell something fishy? Is someone trying to push the bids up??? Or is it a second account??? Who knows!

    If she is shill bidding then she won't last long, who is brave enough to send her the link we had posted earlier about the ebay shill bidder who faces a £5k fine!

    s.gifa***ts.gif( 1 ) is now doing a good job of inflating the price of a mobile phone the DSI lady is selling.
