Because this comment came with a positive mark I'm not angry or even irritated, just ..... troubled(?) by not only the ignorance itself but the explicit invitation for anyone reading to observe it - "see photo".
And no I don't think she's a non-U.S. buyer; the address was a regular domestic one, and her name is Diane, a not-so-popular name for people as young Zoomers, so it's not like she could be more familiar with the newer quarter obverse design that just came out a few years ago, although there are plenty of the older ones still in circulation.
Oh and there's also a ruler right there.
Just saying, if you bought something for which the in-person size was disappointingly surprising, and you went back to look at the listing to see if you were somehow misled, wouldn't you want to be SURE before you aired a grievance about it? And even if that WAS a dime, then why BUY an item barely bigger than a dime, if you think that's "too small"?
Incidentally, I do sometimes shoot a second photo of an item with the metric side of the ruler, if I believe it's one that might attract foreign buyers. And I have about a half-gallon of foreign coins so I may even be able to use one of those, if the item has a very specific national identity, in which case someone from that nation may consider buying.
Curious, does anyone here have a non-currency object you use for a foolproof size reference? Cuz apparently there are coin fools out there! 😆
That is exactly how I would have pictured it. Makes your buyer look like a fool!
Like others I am still laughing about this. With regards to your question you have to be careful about what you put in the pictures for size reference. I use a tape measure in a lot of my pictures and I also describe the item size in the description.
Many moons ago I received a return request from a buyer because the tape measure that was in the pictures was not in the shipment.
This person could have asked you where the ruler and quarter were?

And I would honor that return request. And I guarantee I wouldn't hear a peep from them afterward. I want to know how do you do jumbo-sized emoji's like that? I've tried highlighting them and using the size adjuster thingy (like you can with text) but it doesn't work. Are you here via the phone app (or is that even possible)? If you're on the website, which browser?
