How about a little humor. Strange questions asked by customers.

Question: How much if i want to buy 50?

Answer: Sorry, i don't have 50. I only have 19. You're welcome to buy all 19.

Quantity available on this item: 1.

Question. How many of these come in a case?

Answer: 10 come in a case, but i only have 1 left.

I KNOW! You just can't make this stuff up!

I had a buyer a few days ago buy, pay, then message to cancel sale. 
I messaged "is there a question about this shirt or anything I could help with?" 
(yes, I'll grovel once in awhile, it'd been listed forever, reduced several times.)
She/he had made a $2 offer on my $3 shirt and I had my system set to accept it. I sure didn't want to pay 35c to relist it!) 

Buyer replied "I'd meant to bid more." 
Me:  my "huh?" face. 
I replied, I'm thinking you do want it, may I go ahead and ship instead of cancelling the sale?" Buyer agreed and I shipped. Seems to be OK... so far.

We have had a few but none any better than these. This has been such a delight to read. I hope it continues. Thanks to everyone for sharing."

Agreed, share some more! I had a man offer me $2 on best offer and then a new message came in saying that $2 was a mistake and he meant to offer me $1. Serious 🙂

And they walk among us............

"BBL! Quickly! Like yesterday!"

More humor!! I am so tired right now my brain couldn't even remember what BBL means so I just Googled it. Here was the answer, ha ha! Not quite the block bidder list that I couldn't pull out of this brain to save my life. However....

"A BBL is the term for shaping the buttocks with fat that is obtained by liposuctioning it from other areas of the body."

Cursed breadbox! Sweet! They got a steal for $3!

My favorite $3 sale by far. It was 1970's era I think, dark and huge. One of those things from an auction house lot that didn't make the ebay cut. No way anyone would have wanted to pay for shipping, and frankly, I wasn't excited about the idea of packing it. So, local sale it went.

That's awesome! I love that a dead beat even apologized and you turned a cursed funky piece of doomed to be firewood into a desired item. Even more awesome! 10 STARS!!!

This was not on eBay, it was on Craigslist, but I bet they sold!

*PLEASE take my Jesus Plates*
I have a set of 6 "Faces of Jesus Collector's Plates" and I believe they are ruining my life. They were given to me by a very religious neighbor as a Christmas present. Ever since then, I've been having a stream of bad luck. Shortly there after, I broke off with my boyfriend, got a job transfer to a place I hate, had a bird poop on my head, AND I have remained celibat since the day I received those plates. That's right, ladies and gentlemen: I haven't gotten laid. I believe that by having these plates in my closet, and refusing to display them, I have created this ill luck for myself. Why don't I display them, you ask? That's because they creep me out. So, I figure the only way to clear up my karma is to give them away to someone who would proudly display them.

Please, serious inquiries only. We are talking about my life, ESPECIALLY my sex life. Please do not respond if you plan on damaging them or using them in manner in which they are not meant to be used. If so, you will get horrible karma. Jesus doesn't play around.

I just got one today; 

""I bought this from you and have been waiting on you to ship . I am contacting ebay and sending them this listing and the one I won I think you are trying to get more money which is against ebay selling rules."

After paniking, I checked sales, I checked shipped orders. 
***This person has never bought from me.  ***
Not for all of you regulars but for ones new to eBay; to send me this message she had to
1) find and open the listing for item 
2) scroll to/find link to contact seller 
3) select correct reason  
4) type out her message 
5) and then, I believe, enter a captcha image 

She has OVER 1,000 feedback. So............. I checked her fbbk left. 
Somewhere around 10% is negs, neu, and negative-comment-positives. 😞 
Best Buddies List for sure. 😞

Oh, I LOLed when I read this!

Wonder if someone will find a way to convert a vacuum or dust buster into at home liposuction?  Oh, the money to be made!

These stories are hilarious! I can't recall ever being asked a strange question by a buyer, but I received a strange message from a seller that I was reminded of when I posted about money orders on another thread.

Back in the money order day, I won something for a total of $99 plus some odd change. I was too lazy to go to the bank that day and purchase a money order, so I stuck a hundred dollar bill into a trackable package and sent it off. I messaged her that I had sent my payment and to keep the change.  Her reply? "Oh no! I can't accept cash!"    LOL

I think that may have been a face palm moment in the making, YKWIM.

[blueeggsandspam]

Yes! Cash in hand was the golden ticket back then! 

[castlemagicmemories]

Absolutely!

Here's a real life one.  I was working in a power equipment store.  A female customer had a question about our generators. "I noticed your generators all run on gasoline.  Do you have any that don't require gas and will plug directly  in to the electrical wall outlet?"
