What do you make of this?

Due to having my listing removed twice for containing "Adult Material" (reusable nappies used), I took advice from a fellow MSE'r and listed 2 of the items for auction with the nappies as a free extra. Am happy with the current bids, have received many questions and 17 bids so far.

Have just received this message via a question

"Very clever listing. Hope you sell your nappies and ebay don't remove the listing. I was looking for toddler kushies, so will not be bidding. Mrs x"

What's that all about??
I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    Yes I know they are a type of nappy, and I know they are used which is why I listed them as a free extra, as when I tried to auction them as nappies they were pulled twice. Is the message that's bothering me. If she has no intention of bidding anyway why send it?

    Perhaps she likes the way you listed the item.

    Are you selling baby ones?

    The person said they were looking for toddler ones, maybe they were just being nice because they know many of them are being pulled lately and wishing you luck that they don't get pulled?

    Sounds like if they were the size she was looking for, she would have bid on them.

    I guess I don't have much faith in human nature at the minute, to me I'd read it as "very clever listing", (you thought you could pull that off but I've seen it and am letting you know I have), "hope you sell your nappies and ebay don't
    remove the listing" (am about to report it!). "I was looking for toddler kushies so will not be bidding" (came across your auction by accident, but now that I'm going to report it). Boy am I cynical :eek:
