Dont you just love illeterate people. This isnt a dig at anyone who may have dyslexia, as I have it!

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!

Yeah i'd heard of that before but never seen it. LOL

He has so much for sale but its so badly listed. A real shame for him... bargain for the rest of us.

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

Same applies to people posting on internet forums................

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.
