PURCHASED ITEM 17TH JAN. APART FROM INITIAL CORRESPONDENCE FROM SELLER SAYING 'PAYMENT RECEIVED, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE' THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING. I CONTACTED SELLER 22ND JAN. ASKED WHEN ITEM WILL BE POSTED. THERE IS NOTHING ON THE LISTING PAGE THAT MENTIONS ANY LEAD TIME. INFORMATION APPEARED BRIEFLY THAT STATED 20 DAYS BEFORE ITEM POSTS. I WISH I HAD TAKEN A SCREEN SHOT OF THAT INFORMATION. IT IS NO LONGER THERE. SILENCE FROM SELLER. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH 21 BEFORE I CAN ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. JAN 26. ITEM STILL AT 'AWAITING POSTAGE.
THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS EVERYONE. FIRSTLY, I AM NOT YELLING. I AM NOT BEING FORCEFUL. I AM NOT BEING AGGRESSIVE. I DON'T CARE IF PEOPLE THINK THAT. TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS JUST MAKES THE TEXT EASY TO SEE. SO INSTEAD OF ASSUMING AND ACCUSING USE YOUR OWN BRAINS FOR A MOMENT IF YOU CAN FIND THEM AND THINK THAT THERE IS A LEGIT REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE TYPE IN CAPITALS. IT IS PURELYBECAUSE THE TEXT IS EASY TO SEE!!!!!! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YELLING, AGGRESSION, BEING FORCEFUL, OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO THINK UP. OOOOH, SO OFFENDED THIS PERSON IS USING CAPTIALS. OOOH, I GUESS IF YOU WERE IN USA YOU COULD SUE FOR THAT. JUST TO REMIND YOU ALL. SOME PEOPLE TYPE IN CAPITALS, BECAUSE THE TEXT IS EASY TO SEE, AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
"THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS EVERYONE."
They were questions for the most part - which you couldn't be bothered to answer..................
I am using my brain, thank you kindly. I have vision issues but I choose to either enlarge the screen or use a larger font, or in bold
And it is yelling. They teach that in primary school, you don't use all caps in your feedback you leave, so why the need here
And we are not the ones expecting at item to be posted well before the time stated, well before the estimated delivery date and from a seller who shows as being away
No need to be nasty and abusive
Not only are you yelling (typing in caps), but you're post content is rather aggressive. If you have a vision issue, then try increasing your display size rather than yelling at everyone here.
While the caps might be convenient for you, it makes your post rather difficult to read. Many, including myself, will give up trying to read at a certain point, so your message isn't being adequately conveyed.
If you're after help here, then please don't make it difficult for those willing to assist.
For what it's worth, following your most recent post, I'd be extremely surprised if you get any further assistance at all. People don't respond well to being bullied, attacked and abused.
Have a great day 😊
It is a fact that most people will find ALL CAPS harder to read. From https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/design-readability – “Avoid using all caps. Readability is reduced with all caps because all words have a uniform rectangular shape, meaning readers can't identify words by their shape.”
A 1955 study by Miles Tinker showed that "all-capital text retarded speed of reading from 9.5 to 19.0 percent for the 5 and 10-minute time limits, and 13.9 percent for the whole 20-minute period". Tinker concluded that, "Obviously, all-capital printing slows reading to a marked degree in comparison with Roman lower case … Considering the evidence that all-capital printing retards speed of reading to a striking degree in comparison with lower case and is not liked by readers, it would seem wise to eliminate such printing whenever rapid reading and consumer (reader) views are of importance.”
(from “Legibility of Print” by Mike Tinker.)

In other words, it isn’t cussedness or some baroque view of text readability that is driving the posters here to comment on your use of ALL CAPS. It is genuinely harder for the very great majority of people to read all caps text, especially when it’s a large slab of text.
If you don’t want people to read your posts, then you can safely ignore my strong suggestion that you consider another way of making your text easier for you to see.
In terms of your original question, can you provide the answers that the responders need in order to help?
