Buyers, don't assume
Well this one's on me. I couldn't sleep one night and got on the computer. That usually makes me sleepy when I can't sleep.
I got on eBay and checked my watchlist and decided to make a purchase. The listing title contained these words--->"Crescent Bone Dish(s) " and the description contained--->"Number of Items in Set 1". The pictures had some closeups of individual dishes and one with 5 dishes pictured.
I my sleepy state I assumed since 5 showed in one of the pictures and 1 in the set description meant 1 set...
I broke a few of my purchasing rules. Don't buy if sleepy or distracted and make sure I understand exactly what the listing is for and don't assume.
This one's on me. I looked again at the listing and even though it could be misunderstood I'll accept my mistake, own it and move on.
I see a few posts here where buyers assume, like I did and then get angry.
If you don't know, don't assume and then blame eBay afterwards. It's on no one but you/me.............

But if there is only 1 item, it isn't a set.

OP5 months agoYes I was tired and it said set 1 item when I checked later.

If the listing not only had a photo showing five items, but also populated the "Set" field (with anything), then the mistake is on the Seller, as well.

OP5 months agoMaybe on the seller too but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because when I looked later (not sleepy) I should have known better.

Good thing is now you won't have to fill/eat all the candy in multiple dishes🤣

·5 months agoCrescent bone dishes are little crescent-shaped dishes that were placed by a dinner plate to hold bones or other small inedible "waste" items when eating. But I guess a person could put candy in them if they wanted to.
