Ebay fone-etic-ally.

Dont you just love illeterate people. This isnt a dig at anyone who may have dyslexia, as I have it! :smt019 So there! But surely if you specialise as an ebay motorbike breaker, you would try and list items correctly and give any potential punters half a chance of finding an item.

Not that I am complaining as I have just bought a mint 07 Radeater... Notice the spelling for the sum of £30!

I love ebay! :cool:

Re: Ebay fone-etic-ally.

Yep, I like the badly listed stuff when I can find it.

I always take care when I list item, but doing a load can lead to mistakes.

But if its your business then you should take more care :takeabow:

The number of times people are looking for "sumone to help with there breaks" etc is quite staggering, AND annoying.

And we even have a spell-checker on-site.

Ebay is great, won a new seat for my bike, bloke had a 51plate got a seat for it but turned out to be for a pointy so it's brand new. haven't received it yet so unsure if it'll fit as mine is the k3 mongrel but for 5 pounds I can't be too pee'd off if it doesn't.
