"Most sellers or buyers here already have a decision made as to what they are going to do when reading a listing with errors in it. Complaining that a seller should reply back is pointless. Most sellers do reply back however some don't and honestly it really doesn't matter if they do or don't"
Yes, it does look like the potential buyer made a decision. They wanted to buy THAT particular listing, for whatever reason they came to. They contacted the seller with a question, which is not unreasonable. Complaining that the seller is not responding is natural. Just like the whining from sellers is natural that their sales are in the tank. Correlation? Probably. Those sellers who ignore valid questions from a potential buyer reflect badly on all of eBay.
So you are implying that the sellers here telling the op not to worry about it and move on are lazy sellers?
Not only lazy, but also their own worst enemy. Responses here to buyers reflect on your store as well as eBay as a whole. real welcoming place and real helpful to the buyer to just tell them to move on. What you may do in these circumstances when you are contacted might be better, but the attitude with a buyer does more to chase them off then encourage them to keep buying here.
My gut tells me (and @allkinds please come back to correct me if I am wrong), the OP messaged the seller, then immediately came here to complain.
Your gut is just making assumptions. The problem is, you are making assumptions in favor of the lazy seller who is not even in this thread or asking how to handle the issue. You are treating the buyer like a Karen and basically telling them you don't believe them. eBay does not care if you are sick, have family problems or any other excuse you can trot out. When you become a seller, you have certain responsibilities here. Frankly, I don't care what anyone's excuse is, if you sell here, it's a business. You are supposed to have your bases covered. How many come here complaining that their account is perma-banned? Bunches. "Oh I was sick" "Oh the power was out for 2 days!" Oh this, oh that. eBay doesn't care.
Let's assume maybe the seller DID revise the listing, and made a "mistake". Ok, how many of you are not proof reading your listings? Obviously they didn't. The listing SHOULD be reported, because it's not accurate. The photos and text do not clearly represent what they are supposed to be selling. I don't really care what excuse other sellers want to trot out for this seller, it just shouldn't be a mistake. When you revise a listing, you should be spending enough time to make it accurate. That's whole point is you are REVISING it.
