eBay's Believe It or Not, Tales From the Field!

The Part Timers Forum used to have an on-going thread about posts that were odd/funny/stooopid/contained weird CS answers ~ or just generally considered silly or outrageous.  The OP of the thread was "the medic", so while the PT group is still kickin', I thought it would be fun to start another similar thread.

 

Readers, if you run across a post, comment, feedback, etc., that is "off the beaten path", please add it to this thread.  I read the community almost every day and will contribute when something catches my eye. Just something to break up the boredom of listing, revising, answering questions, and working around the eBay listing glitches Smiley Surprised ~ or waiting for something to sell Smiley SurprisedSmiley SadSmiley Surprised

A little bit of this and that from around the Community that made me laugh, cringe or smile!

 

     can I sell here visit of celebrity to somebody?

          and the reply:  From Uzbekistan? 🙂

 

It would seem that you can buy just about anything on eBay ~ anyone interested in a dinosaur bowel ~ or how about a turkey bowel!

Message I received today.  I shipped items, which he apparently did not receive, or at least is claiming as much.  He has not replied to my answer yet....  anyway, check out THIS beauty, LOL:

 

"I ordered it and it said it showed up Tuesday but it never showed up what s good send me these jawns I need em bad plz Happy Holidays"

 

Ugh.  Maybe there should be a requirement to be able to type in an understandable manner before you can purchase on eBay.... good grief.  I told him to check with his mailman and to check and make sure that he has the correct address on file with eBay.  And to take the tracking number with him to his local post office to ask them about it.

LOL, those AI bots need a good dose of common sense....from the post:

 

I'm hoping I put this in the correct forum.

I have a feedback rejected as vulgar. I read the others responses and I still don't see the problem with mine. I wrote "Wood panel playpen is nice. Seller is great to work with. Thank you so much!". So, where is the problem? Please help.

 

Soooo, Part Timers, can anyone figure it out?

 

Spoiler
The bots are connecting these 2 words--- playPEN IS " incorrectly and they think you are using the word for the male sex organ. You need to remove "the payPEN IS nice" and the feedback will go through Smiley Happy
