WELCOME TO MY LISTING ETC ETC... COS AFTER A WHILE TEXT THIS SIZE STARTS TO HURT YOUR EYES AND THERE IS LESS CHANCE OF ME ACTUALLY BIDDING ON THE ITEM AS THE TEXT GETS ON MY NERVES...
What's wrong with just erm, normal size text...? :T

Completely agree with you!
I also hate when its all in block capitals and littered with spelling errors. (I admit my spelling isn't great some of the time though
)
I also can't stand people who overcharge on postage, and who have about a million and one terms and conditions!
Guess you could say I'm fussy!

I was looking at something a couple of weeks ago and gave up, the seller did the whole listing with no spaces between words just comma's.
Another one thats really annoying is doing the listing in multi colour.2011 Sealed Pot Challenge #1238 hoping for £250 ~ saved £743.32

Or the ones where not only is it utterly enormous and a jaunty colour, but they've somehow got a huge word wrap, so you have to scroll to read a sentance, scroll back to read the next one, etc, etc.
Bad spelling is sometimes surreal- loads of rears is one that comes up a lot for us. :undecidedThis is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine.

Oops, that would be me then, also guilty of the old multi coloured thing too!
I just think it looks pretty. Do you think maybe that's why my recent job applications have got me no where? :rotfl:"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." :huh:0 -

hehehe, I typo'd, whilst mocking poor spelling and funny accents.I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.0 -

Me too, not the coloured, tend to just stick to my fave aubergine shade, but comic sans is my fave font, I even email in it, to everybody!I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant.
