Straight to BBL

[jellybirddesigns]

This is a message I got from a potential buyer :

"Hi i would like to buy 3 ov these cushions buy yu have set some restrictions.....plz can yu remove rhe restrictions. So i can buy i reli like these cushion covers"

My reply:

Generally restrictions are there for my protection as a seller.

If a buyer has:
- received 2 unpaid item strike(s) within 12 month(s)
- a primary postage address in countries that I don't post to
- had 4 policy violation report(s) within 6 month(s)

Then unfortunately I can't sell you the items.
If it something other than the above, then please let me know and I will check my settings.

Don't you just love the BBL feature of Ebay?

The difference is Joe, you're just a bad speller, period. You don't deliberately change the spelling ov words because you think it loox "cute" or because it's trendy, or any other reason why these bogans insist on using stupid spelling. If you wanted to write the word "gate", you'd write that word (even if not spelled correctly), you wouldn't deliberately spell it g8 on purpose.

I've been dying to use this one!

I am not going to comment about how bad the spelling was that the so called buyer used .

 But the thought did cross my mind that there is a slim possibility the buyer in question in the opening message could be totally Deaf.

Now I did say a slim possibility.

I have a totally Deaf sibling and when he signs with his fingers or writes anything down it is a common practice with the Deaf community to take shortcuts with their spelling and even words.

Just something to think about I am not saying the buyer IS Deaf  I am just saying there could be another reason for the bad spelling.

Whether buyer (who was actually based in the UK) was deaf or not (which I doubt, as her message sounds uneducated more than anything else), I'm just pleased that she was unable to buy from me due to the restrictions in place.

I reckon I dodged a potential bullet.

Hi everyone, the discussion is getting a little heated.  Please be sure to keep your communications civil.  Thanks!

Heated?

Tippy and Joe know each other's preferred communication methods and besides the gist of the post has been missed.

Tippy is agreeing with Joe's post by conversely using the OP's situation as an example that it differs from Joe's humble self analogy.

And we all love someone able to admit the truth about themselves.

additionally, joe gave tippy's post a kudo . . . . and those of us who have been around these boards long enough know that joe often ends his posts with "have a nice day".  I agree kopes, no heat around here at the moment!

Thank you! I wanted to reply, but wasn't sure how to word it properly. You summed it up perfectly!

Exactly! There was definitely no heat coming from me. I think if my post upset Joe, he would have said so.

[joethenuts]
