Hi everybody!<p>
I just got done listing and feel really, really dumb.<br>
Any of you ever created an auction impossible to bid on?<p>
To make some re-lists a little more exciting I put a marquee on the end. Need I say more?<br>
Forgot to turn it off and the whole bid-part went blinking and moving.<br>
Gave me a good laugh until I realized: gotta check and change ‘em all.<br>
Lucky that none of them had any bids yet, hahaha.

I was off-line creating some auctions yesterday. I was in the middle of putting pictures in the auctions and reached down to eject a disk from my A drive. I accidentally turned the computer off instead. I had to re-do several auctions. Boy, did I feel stupid!

Spelling - I always feel stupid if after proofing it offline, and then again at the preview page - I still let a typo through. Or an extra "the."
Just recently sold a book that referred to the dustjacket as the jd instead of the dj. Wahhh - it had a bid on it before I caught it. So there it sat for 7 days and to me it said: Buy book from idiot.

I did something really stupid. I was listing items during the free list day and listed a large number of old 45s. The auctions ended and I am getting the records to package. I can't find one of the records. I looked high and low. So I decided to look into my files. There it was - sold. Because of my mistake, I sent an email with a list of all the other records I have and asked him to pick another one and I would send it free of charge. Of course to make my mistake even worse, he lives in Denmark! I hope he is understanding because it was not intentional, but a stupid mistake.

Well, it seems like everytime I proof everything and put it into Mr. Lister to upload, sure enough I made some mistakes that I notice ONLY after I get on the Mr. Lister area of the site (where you activate a group of listings). I always forget something.
I've found it's quicker to delete the whole group from the site and change it in Mr. Lister and send it to eBay again. Changing auctions one at a time takes FOREVER!
