She doesn't have a clue about anything more than the basics, but managed to complete the transactions with no real problems. On one auction whe didn't realise that "EBAYEURS A PROFIL ZERO SOYEZ SYMPA CONTACTEZ MOI." meant she should contact the seller first, but they didn't have any issues about it, and on another she made a rather dense, but not serious, mistake - see if you can guess what it was: item 120304474291. So yeah, I don't agree with Veggie's 'retard' comment, but it's clear that there must be significant numbers of retards who get caught out by sh.t like this. Signature_______ .'_/_|_\_'.

Yup. But as it's only for wall decoration it didn't really matter. >(Seller's FB isn't too good, either) Eh? It's 97% positive. In what way is that 'not too good'? The only 2 negs I can see look like buyer issues. Anyway, it arrived this morning (together with some wooden skis and leather boots from another vendor, both received within a week of sale) - I haven't checked it, but it's difficult to imagine what'd be wrong with an old ski stick, unless it wasn't the one pictured.
