Ok, now you have done it... Forced me to agree with you 100% ...dirty trick.... 'course E-Richie is gone racing so he isn't reading this. Absolutely there is no reason to be ugly or personal or uncivil in any observation about a Ebay auction or the seller. Just the facts, Mam, would be the proper approach. A personal zinger (there are no other connotations for that word I hope!) is never necessary. It certainly has to be best to just point out areas in question politely.. That way a positive response is more likely too!
