Had this come through ask a seller a question tonight ...sheesh sound just like The I will send you a money order for 5 million dollars for your 5.00 item and you keep 5% and send the rest back to me cause my blah blah blah you know the stories. Turned it into eBay and they zapped him within 30 minutes "No longer a registered user".
"I am agent interested in immediate purchase of your item.After several consideration over the advert placed on the website,my client has really shown interest in it and would really want to issue the payment in form of Cashiers Check.Will you be accepting a Cashiers Check? The cashiers check that will be drawn by my client would include the cost for shipping this item to my client and my commission would be included on the same Cashiers Check.We shall solely be responsible for the shippment of the item.
Please contact me asap via email for futher questions as regards this transaction or call me on +2348060410501 if you really show willingness in selling this item asap.Thank You and I am expecting your response asap."

I've been getting really dumb questions like what kinda cable should I use for...
Heck if I know, I sell postcards and paper.
Today another question about a camera that her uncle gave her and she wants to know what I think she should sell it for on craigslist ?
I don't sell cameras so I have no idea ....

Here's my latest and greatest - had a nice piece - a carriage clock- up for $9.99 no reserve and expect it to sell in the $150-$200 range. Receive a question for seller.
"Hi,
I am on vacation right now and I can read only ebay mail. Please advise if you will be willing to stop the auction with me as the highest bidder. If you agree I will make you an offer.
TRhanks,
Dave"
Yeah, sure - I'll stop it with your $9.99 high bid so I have to sell it to you at that price...

well I DO appreciate that you can choose to answer the question through Ebay and hide your email address. it cuts down on the spam fishing emails that way. I used to just hit reply in Outlook and answer that way but no more.
