    A regular stupid question is "have you sent my item yet?" when I send out the dispatch email the same day it is posted! You get that on Play.com when selling too. Do people not read their emails?

    Is that like a M&S 8 (miniscule) or a Next 8 (moderate)?

    I always put on my listings whether the item comes up big or small, ie NEXT sizes come up quite big whereas I find H&M to be a "small" size 8. I suppose there's a better way of wording it though lol.

    lol thats the thing though, i always put the brand, and usually the measurements! and if i think it is a size bigger than stated, then i will say that. Some people are too lazy to reach for the tape measure i think! :o

    My question to buyer - What colour background do you want?
    Answer - Yes
  • rare-stuff: you should have emailed back and just told him that his question was rather ambiguous, he should have stated more clearly that all he wanted was a copy of the contents PAGE, not the whole contents!
