They're all coming out of the woodwork today!

Buyer #1:

"I look forward to receiving my item in 5 days, 6 hours and 1 minute!"

(Time left on the fixed price listing when they purchased the item).

Buyer #2:

"How do I place an order and not pay?"

(To be fair, I think this is because they want to combine postage, but the wording was amusing!)

Me to Buyer #3:

"I noticed you bought two of these but have only paid for one. Did you want two, or is the second purchase a mistake? If so, let me know and we can cancel it"

Buyer #3 to me:

"Thank you, I purchased that item"

(Still no payment for the second one)

 . . .  it's going to be one of those days.

And it's not even a full moon either! You really have to shake your head at some people. At least it keeps us amused.

I had a buyer ask me once "what colour is the orange tea cup?". Ummmm, purple?

So glad to hear it's not just me that gets these sorts of characters. 😄

There are no words.

Buyer #3, who still hasn't paid for their second item. This is the same buyer detailed in my other thread.

She bought an item with the equivalent title of  "PACKET OF 100 PINK BEADS"

She then asks, "Hello, does this packet contain any beads and approximately how many are there?". I really wish I was joking.

So I reply and state that all relevant information can be found in the item title and description, and then I paste the information from the listing for good measure.

She then replies:

"Hello, I have been paying for things accidentally". <----- WTH? (I guess this is in response to her non-payment? I'm sooo glad I blocked this person . . . )

I know it wouldn't be funny for you, the seller, but it is quite funny reading it.

A few weeks back I bought some tape from a seller. It was advertised as 3mm wide tape in both title and description yet I noticed the poor seller had a neutral from some buyer who complained the tape was not even 1cm wide and what's more it didn't stick.

My tape came quickly and was great so I wrote a thank you to the seller to let them know it was good quality, good sticking power and how rapt I had been to actually find 3mm wide tape.

They replied to me that with the neutral feedback they had let their professionalism slip as they had sent a message back to the buyer that their next purchase on ebay should be a ruler.

The mind boggles as to what sort of tape is 3mm wide?

[imastawka]

Yeah, that's pretty narrow.     What would that be used for?

[lyndal1838]

Double sided tape for craft work or repairing phone screens (so I have been told....I have never had to use it for that).

[imastawka]

Nobody mentioned double sided though.

And repairing phone screens?  Really?
