I'm sure there was a thread on this subject a while back, but I can't find it.

Woke up this morning to a question about a pair of shoes I'm selling:

'Are these shoes comfortable?'

    I have had a girl from Russia asking me about jeans 'made in?????' Then two months later she did the same about another pair of jeans. Needless to say, she was ignored the second time :)

    Selling an item at 99p and had no bids. Had a message supposedly from a 5 year old saying his Mum was poor and asking if it didn't sell, could they have it for free? This was an item over 1kg and they were in the USA.

    Tell them of course, just come and collect it.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
