Why do people ask silly questions like ‘Can I buy it for £30′ when you’ve started the auction at 99p and given it a Buy It Now price of £75?
The answer, of course, is ‘yes – if you bid that much and nobody outbids you but, in the meantime, as that’s at least £35 less than comparative products are selling for, bugger off’.
And to those who ask ‘If I gave you £60 and came to pick it up, would you end the auction early,’ you can only really say ‘picking it up saves you the postage, not the selling price, moron’.
But of course you don’t. You email a sweet smile and politely send them back to the listing.
I’d forgotten how many fools come your way when you sell stuff online.

How big do they think my wardrobe is? I have never lived anywhere like where I do now (sorry – bad grammar) for begging bags....

I’ve only recently started using eBay, so as a complete novice I actually won two high sleeper beds for my kids.
The first bed was a triple witha start price at £50 or buy now tag for £80 but I was the only bidder and got it for the £50, the second bed I got for £72 so a grand total of £122
The first bed in Argos would have set me back £273 from new, so I now like eBay
