    Just respond saying "posted next working day, upgraded to special for free, and arrived next day. No pleasing some!"

    Then BLOCK them!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    About a year ago I sold a VHS video listed as a VHS video in the VHS video section, mentioned about three times in the item description as a VHS video and in the item specifics as a VHS video. Buyer left NFB......said she was expecting it to be a DVD. Ya gotta laff.:rotfl:

    I was reading the feedback for the house of fraser outlet on ebay, someone left a neutral saying they were expecting a bra. The listing was still there so I checked it, it clearly said thong in the title and description and the picture was of a thong.
    I'm a bit fed up of selling on ebay now myself as too much gets lost in the post, and I'm fed up of buyers complaining to me that an item I list and describe as used is not brand new with tags attached.

    "posted next working day, upgraded to special for free, and arrived next day. No pleasing some!"

    Much as I agree in spirit, putting that last bit just makes you sound argumentative and stoops somewhat to their level. Just post the facts and let other people work out the last bit.

    If you are getting a lot of losses, check how you address items as mistakes or illegible addresses could be to blame. If you think it's your handwriting, use printed address labels, and always use indelible pens (I use sharpies for addressing jiffy-bags) or other waterproof markers to make sure rain does not erase the address.
