I love Ebay... I love selling on it.. in fact... I might even argue that Ebay is a drug.... but I need to compile a running list of stupid questions that I am getting.
1. Here is the title of an auction that I have/had up. "Ella and Louis Again 2 CD SEALED (Armstrong Fitzgerald)" The title is the FIRST thing you read when it comes to items. It is what draws you in to look at the rest of the item. A bidder actually asked this question. "Condition of cd?" Apparently, the word SEALED is confusing to some. My answer was -- "As you can see by the title... it is sealed... thus... never used... thus...in perfect condition! Good luck and happy bidding." I wonder if she will bid.
2. Another one asked me for a listing of the tracks on the CD. Although I didn't list the tracks, it is VERY simple to find out the names of tracks on a MASS MARKETED CD that was NUMBER ONE at one time in the country. Where do they come from?
3. I was also asked this week if I would end an auction early (1 day left and something I just don't agree with doing..) so that she could buy the item for $3.99. The auction had it listed at $5.25. That's what other people bid it up to. Yeah... I am going to get right on that....
4. I give detailed emails to people after they win. It breaks down all the fees and charges. My favorite questions from these folks are -- "um... so the final total is... $X? (copying exactly what is in print in front of them.)" My answer in my brain is ..."No shit Sherlock.." but I generally respond with ... "That is correct."
Sometimes it actually hurts my brain.

Reminds me of the list of stupidest warning labels of 2004, which Keith Olbermann talked about on Countdown last night. One of them was on a digital thermometer: "After use of this product orally, do not use rectally." Proving the point that, yes, people really are stupid.
