    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

  • Thanks for posting - absolutely made my day. :rotfl:
    He's really not alone - I think there's been a lot of discontent with ebay for some time. What a shame.

    Although I know it is very tongue in cheek, I don't like the fact that the auction outlines very simply, and very easily, to potential scammers how to get away with fraud.

    Are you being serious?

    List a laptop or expensive mobile phone on Ebay and these are the type of "communications" you will receive through Ebay messages (other than the offer of iron bar on head, but thats happened for many years, long before the internet).

    Are you also disapproving of George Agdgdgwngo then?

    I see where dolly is coming from, actually. Oddly, it had never occurred to me to doctor a digital photo in order to win a SNAD dispute.

    Very funny otherwise.
