I WILL DO MY BEAST:

Mmm, I wonder who the beast is ? It sounds like the writer needs a "hoilday".

[Cali Craft and Gems]

That is one of the most painful experiences I've ever endured - I used to be a proof-reader for a specialist magazine so can pick up errors quite quickly - and Vegar - you still missed a few... :)

My goodness....you're = you are .... and what's the meaning of the red underlined? Shame, writer needs English classes, never mind a holiday (@GAMU "hoilday") lol

[Vegar]

I ignored punctuation and the 'normal' you're instead of your etc. and left the rest for you to spot

Painful !!!

But what is MATERAIL ?? Some sort of rail company ?? My favourite is AVDERVISTED - almost an anagram with a superfluous V - amazing!!

I think the person was high on something ... self-defined as a free spirit.

OR ITEM WILL BE RE IN LISTED.

Possibly he has a boot camp for spaced out poor spelling items(?)

[lilythepink]

I still do proofreading and editing (for a fee!). This poor seller needs help desperately.

Imagine wading through all that bull before one can even begin understanding what her terms and conditions are?

[Seeds for Africa]

People please you are all reading this wrong! I will try to figure out what the seller is saying here!

MATERAIL - His Mate work's on the railways. PARSCEL - He likes Parsley. NO COMBINE - He doesnt have a combine harvester but would like one so he can have lots of time for HOILDAYS. NEGOTABLE & BEAST - He doesnt have Ne Goat but has ne Beast.

Amazing, I do make the occasional spelling mistake myself, but WoW, that’s just..........wow.
The poor spellchecker will probably have a breakdown.

[amcintyre]

It's more than spelling. The entire thing would need to be reworked. Perhaps something like .... (I'm sure that there are spelling and grammatical errors in my revised wording as well )

Items are shipped from Howick. Please note that the postage price includes the cost of any packing material used. Shipping as follows: under 1 kg (small items) R40,00; over 1kg R50,00. Include an additional 2% for insurance to be taken out on your items. Should you wish to combine items, contact me for a combined postage quote. No more than three items can be combined in one parcel. Large items cannot be combined. Quotes for posting outside of South Africa or for Speed Services are also available. Unfortunately, we do not permit collections.

Do not place bids if you are unhappy with these terms – shipping terms are non-negotiable. Winning bidders are to make payment within three days of close of auction. Items will be shipped as soon as payment is reflected in my bank account. Posting only takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Should you not meet the above criteria with regard to payment, you will receive a negative rating and your won items will be re-listed.

Although extreme care is taken in handling and packing items, I cannot remain responsible after postage has taken place. Your tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as postage has taken place. Please check regularly on the SAPO tracking site to monitor to the progress of your posted items.

Questions and correspondence will be answered between 8:00 to 18:00.

Well done for sorting that mess, can I use it?

[amcintyre]

Well done for sorting that mess, can I use it?

Sure. But I think that it is still too bulky

[lilythepink]

Well done, Kyle! Now perhaps someone can get hold of the seller and ask her/him to thank you!

Thanks Lilly, but I didn't fix it, amcintyre did.

[mellowred]

Bulky stuff ... maybe it's just because I don't list and sell much so haven't experienced the problems of other sellers, but I can't understand why sellers do this. The important bits get lost. Crazy stuff.
