    Ok, so you and all the others who know everything about the OP are all right about everything all the time and we won't question any of you again.
    Happy now?
    And OP doesn't seem to be 'throwing a fit' to me, she seems to be a reasonable person merely responding to a lot of sniping and, frankly, bullying, with a lot more patience and good humour than I would probably employ!

    The fact here is I don't understand why these sellers think that the truth is in their hands??!!

    Not only from my thread but from what I can see in other previous threads, some sellers start accusing and bullying the OP's for being a liar, bad person or even a scammer who just wants to ruin their business !!

    Calm down people , CALM DOWWWWWN :):):)

    No one is here to lie or create stories, we don't know each others so why would we say something different to what really happened ? unless of course schizophrenics ! But again you can never know :eek:

    Clear message, certainly nothing to cause confusion in my opinion. Although it is obvious that English isn't your first language from that.

    Really?
    That was clearer than many messages I get from ebay users!

    A nasty response to a reasonable post - I think you should try a bit harder, eh?!

    Ignore this type Hun :T

    Sounds like that PS3 probably just need a new disk drive though. Not to say you shouldn't return it, just that it's probably a fairly simple issue.

    LOL, I've just copied an example of my messages to sellers to prove to Mrs Marie that my messages are crystal clear for sellers, regardless of English being my mother tongue or not.

    As for the PS3, I already return it last week because it's not working.

    Yeah lol. Just the choice of words and order of the sentences.
    "Hello There, I'm sorry to inform you that I've received yesterday the parcel but I found it not as described. The PS3 is not reading discs and keep making an ejecting noise. In addition that the grey controller is not charging whilst the another one is fine. In the listing it says clearly that it is in perfect working order while I find this incorrect.

    I want to return this item ASAP and get a full refund

    Thanks"

    Obviously people all write things differently but to reword it how I'd write it:

    Hi. I'm sorry to inform you that yesterday I received the parcel but it's not as described. The PS3 is not reading discs and it keeps making an ejecting noise. In addition to that the grey controller is not charging. In the listing it clearly says that it is in perfect working order which is not the case.

    I wish to return this item ASAP for a full refund

    Thanks.

    If I was me messaging the seller I'd probably write something much shorter personally.

    In realise this thread has decended into nit picking about how to construct a sentence, but again, I see nothing wrong with that message.
    It's informative. No long life story about how they've been swizzed, just gets to the point of the problem.

    As you say, we all word things different ways. There's nothing wrong with your edit, or the OPs original version. They both tell you the same thing.

    I've sold my old sofas last month , and here is a message that I received during the auction from the winning bidder, found at the collection time to be a native.

    " heya plz send dimensions of the 3 seatr sofa R the cushions included & wen r u available for collection thanks nick "

    In between, he collected and paid promptly, he was a friendly guy too and i will be happy to deal with him again.

    I never said there was anything wrong with the other post. In fact, I stated the opposite!

    My only very small unimportant point was simply that I could tell English wasn't their first language. It makes no difference, it's not a bad thing, just an observation.

    Sorry, I wasn't saying that you were saying the message was wrong, just stating that I didn't see any problems with it. :)
    I guess my message / emphasis was lost in translation. Easily done ;)

    Yeah. Sadly a typical message from someone whose first language is, no doubt, English. Actually surprising they spelt other words correctly and in full lol.
