I listed an auction on ebay and the listing fee box said this:

"$25.01 to $1,000.00 -- $1.255.0% of the initial $25.00 ($1.25), plus 2.5% of the final sale price over $25.00 "

WTF is "$1.255.0%" ???

The HS dropout programmers are at it again!!!

Maybe we all need to list just one more item then usual so they can buy the programer a new keyboard one that knows what the programer is trying to type..

Three possibilties:

The ebay interns are in charge.

Since their only proofreader with spelling skills is on vacation this month, their copy and policy statements are coming out all confused.

It makes sense to them and nobody else.

Nice to see there are so many perfect people in the world who NEVER make mistakes themselves!

Please give the rest of us a little understanding...we aren't perfect and DO make mistakes. Even the college grads among us.

How funny.

Here we have posts criticizing other people's grammar, yet these posts themselves (one in particular) is wrought with (as usual) grammatical errors!

LOL!

There is a big difference between informal chit-chat and a business TOS. I especially expect a statement of fees to be proofread, double-checked and accurate.

This is especially puzzling inasmuch as it was correct in the past. What do they do, re-write things for the heck of it in their spare time to see if they can make it "more correct"? Well the opposite is true.

Excuses, escuses!!

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

Isn't there something better to do on a nice Saturday afternoon other than being so petty?
