http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRISWOLD-No-3-SLANT-LOGO-ERIE-PA-HEAT-RING-CAST-IRON-SKILLET-/162487669510?

is a listing that ended and I have one guy continuing to ask me the following, AFTER the auction ended.

copied directly from my ebay mail system

first email:
This ad is confusing...is it for the #3 skillet or waffle maker?

my response:
what waffle maker do you see? I look at the title, the description and the pictures and they all point to an auction selling a #3 slant griswold epu HR skillet. greg

then another email: (remember this auction has ended)
This ad is confusing...is it for the #3 skillet or waffle maker?


third email:
The description says waffle maker

my response: stop harassing me with stupid emails on ended auctions, I have customers that need their auctions mailed and you are wasting my time. if you respond again, I'm blocking you.

fourth email: (they couldn't contain themselves)
Item Description
ANOTHER PERFECT ONE FROM MY COLLECTION. the extremely rare #7 oval Griswold waffle with the original BASE! I collected unusual things. I WILL BE ADDING MORE AS I GO SO KEEP CHECKING BACK. If you are not happy, let me know.

This is what I COPIED from your description. Obviously you don t read, instead you act like a jerk. I will be sure to not spend my money with you!



I blocked  petradaw (31Yellow Star)
I still don't understand how my add is confusing to anyone. Even the #7 oval comment is struck through, unless he/she thought it was underlined, but how do you miss all the paragraphs in between?  egads!!

Looks like another e-bay mess? When I look at the listing, it shows the 7 oval w.i. struck through (on my laptop) . The description shows for a #3 skillet when I look(ed) at it. Listing looked perfectly fine from what I see.  E-bay is that messed up?  I hope I never have to use them to sell (if & when). Not worth the grief.

I think the additional information section may be too much information for some ebay users.  It's information not directly related to the item listed.

That is interesting Roger.  I had to grab my iPhone and look, but it displays (the completed auction) just perfectly.  My display even looks different.

I have an iPhone 6, 10.3.1 OS, using the eBay app that is most current.

I was kind of disappointed when it looked correct.

Tom I wasn't using the app.  No idea why it dies that.

That's wild Roger, I tried going to the website directly and got the same display you did.  The waffle iron for sale.  Just weird.

Guess I will have to download the stoopid Ebay app for my I phone 5S.

Using Safari, and I can't access half the stuff in "My Ebay".... arghhh...

This is why I love my Computer... Desktop!

Every device seems to display everything differently....... :-? :-?

I just had a buyer from one of my ebay auctions come by today.  He said that there is a new feature that buyers now have, so that when they check out, they can check a box to say "local pickup". This is likely a result of the 'glitch' that I and many others have OR, it is what is causing the 'glitch'.
