    I duno... i care less and less about my emails as the years pass. I mean if your asking a simply question then I tend to just put it simply instead of hello n bye n all that nonsense.

    I email questions like "case?"..... "local collection?"..... "instructions?"

    haha! Most people dont seem to care although you get the odd person sayin excuse me!!!
  • I listed an item recently that had a lot of interest, every day I had at least 2 questions, mainly "can you relist as BIN I'd buy it for a fair price" without even mentioning what this fair price was! I hate it when buyers ask ME what price I want for an item - I'm the SELLER, I DON'T KNOW what the BUYER might want to pay for it!

    One girl frantically sent me 3 emails in one day before I'd had a chance to reply because it was a wednesday and she wanted me to relist as BIN so she could have it for her mums birthday on friday. OK cool beans I thought and stated BIN as £35, item usually goes for £40 so I thought that was fair.................never heard from her again and my item went for £41+p&p.
