I've just listed an item, an ornament,I forgot to put the dimensions on. I know I should have. Someone wants to know the size, no hello, could you let me know the size of this please. Just Size????????????????????
Why does that wind me up to such an extent that I don't want to tell them now? Nose, spite cutting comes to mind.
Yes, even more than someone not putting the sizes of something on their listing.

You could always tell them the size and then block them:D Could infuriate them if they want to bid. Or os that a bit petty?

Never believed that "size doesn't matter" business.

At least he didn't call me mate.
I'm beginning to think that I'm far too old for ebay selling.
I'm waiting for my call to appear in the next edition of Grumpy Old Women.

Nor me, I know I should have put the sizes on, but a Hello, if they couldn't stretch to please would have been nice.
Better go measuring.

No it would have been M8.

I hate all those terms from people I have never met such as Mate etc. I always think i'm not your bloddy mate. Maybe i'm too old too.

I listed a car the other day as a non runner, I assume that it was nearly all young guys who wanted to ask questions, a lot of them I couldn't understand. With all the text & ganster, or gangsta speak. They probably thought I was really rude but I couldn't answer questions I couldn't decipher.
I keep thinking of my old English teacher & how he would react to todays language, I'm sure he's spinning in his grave.

I had one of those only last week..they just said HOW BIG?

The item in question was square and i had shown the length breadth and height of the item in the auction text quite clearly.

Blocked obviously and i resisted the temptation to make a rather rude response.
