Reading: Optional

Listed an item on eBay with this description "Cast counterfeit". Buyer wins, pays immediately through PayPal, and then writes:

"I won this item and I am happy. Only that after reading the
description i noticed you wrote cast counterfeit. What is that MEAN? Does
it means it is a copy of the real coin? Or it is a 100% original coin of
that time?"

eBay- gotta love it.

Cancelled the transaction, and got this reply:

"...the thing is that my customers rely on my "expertise" when
buying from me, and if I sell them something that is fake, the customer will
get really upset."

I'd think so. That's probably why reading the description before you bid is a Good Thing. Plus- it helps to establish your "expertise".

I recently got this:

"HI! I RECEIVED THE COIN TODAY , BUT THE HOLDER WAS BROKEN ( CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE AND CRACKED ON THE SIDE ABD A PIECE IS MISSING ) . AND THERE'S NO BROKEN PIECES INSIDE THE PLASTIC BAG . THAT MEANS THE BOX WAS BROKEN BEFORE PUT IN THE BAG . PLEASE LET ME KNOW WANT YOU WANT ME TO DO ? THANKS!"

I pointed him to the description, which read, "An attractive and very lustrous piece. Please note that the slab is heavily chipped in the upper left corner, with cracks as seen in the photos; the coin is unharmed." There was also a large picture showing the crack. Ugh.

<< <i>PLEASE LET ME KNOW WANT YOU WANT ME TO DO ? THANKS!" >>

So he expected you to write a reply for him to read. Which he, of course, would, since he obviously read the description in the first place.... Waitaminute-



nevermind.

OT, but happened to me on Craigslist recently. I was trying to get rid of my old big-screen TV- it had a picture, but there was definitely something wrong with it, as it wouldn't converge any more.

The title of the ad was 'Free Sony 51" HDTV- Has problems", and I described the issue in detail in the description. The next day, I was contacted via email by someone who wanted it. We went back and forth setting up a time, and areed he would call me when he was coming by. When he called, the first thing he asked was "It works, right?"
