On your listings ... is it  "First Class mail" or "First Class Mail"?    😉

I usually capitalize the first letter of every word in shipping, so it would be “First Class Mail.” But that’s just what I recommend. You decide 😉

It is First Class Mail.  Unless you are selling Kountry Kute Krap, and then it is  FiЯsT CLasS MaIL.

And if you live in Russia, it would be, “почта первого класса.”

Thank you.  I'm  a stickler for grammar. 

Now if you''ll excuse me, I have 217 listings to correct. 

Just kidding!   😉


Oh, I just can't help myself...

You don't "loose" money, you "lose" money. 

Ebay charges you "fees," not "fee's."

If you haven't received payment from the buyer they haven't "paid," not "payed."

 

Those are some of the most egregious examples I see here. I'm not attacking you specifically. I feel better now.

The one that drives me nuts is I have a widget for "sell". No, you don't, you have a widget for "sale." Or I am trying to "sale my item". No, you are trying to "sell your item." (Directed at no one in particular).
