Bad Spelling Costs eBay Seller $500,000
Quote:Let this be a lesson to you: spell check, spell check, spell check. We can't say it enough. We're not spelling snobs. We don't even care if other people think you're a doofus. We just want to save you the pain and humiliation of losing $500,000 due to a bonehead-spelling mistake -- something one poor sap recently experienced on the mean streets of eBay through the sale of a priceless bottle of beer... full article: http://www.switched.com/2007/09/04/missp...r-500-000/ |

The seller still has the bottle due to fraudulent bids, as I read in antique week a day or so ago. hint-hint to the seller - call Sotheby's, B&B or an equivalent (if there is such a thing). You WILL get your money. |

I'd be shocked if the high bidder on a high ticket eBay listing wasn't fraudulent. ;D |
