Racquet up those sales

Just got the " Racquet up those sales" message from Ebay and I am a bit flummoxed.   Is it just atrocious editing or pathetic marketing?

Racquet up those sales

I think sometimes they try to be cute and often it's a big fail..."Flummoxed" is the word I used to win a Scrabble tournament yesterday..

I haven't gotten that email yet. Are they trying to get sellers to list tennis racquets? If so, I don't have any, so they can just not send me the email lol

 

Maybe they mean ratchet up sales?

I'm guessing they were trying to say "ratchet up those sales" but either just plain misspelled it or autocorrect changed it to racquet. 

 

Or maybe they are confused and it was supposed to be an internal e-mail, since ebay tends to make money through racquets. (calm down, it's a joke!)

That would be rackets not racquets = )

It's probably a promo for selling sports goods.
