Reading? What is reading?

Oh, people.

I've had two or three people PM me now about the Pokéballs I sold on Ebay. I took a picture of the two types (Pokéball or Great Ball) with a CD for reference. In the listing, it clearly states that you get ONE OR THE OTHER. Or both, if you order two and say you want one of each. Or whatever quantity of each.

I've gotten two messages so far from people being like, "Dude, I got my package, and where's the other one?!" The person who messaged me just now asked me where the CD was, too. *Facepalm*

It's called reading. I know a surprising number of people are apparently too lazy to do it, but it does answer these kinds of questions. LOL.

Not so much annoyed as just amused.

I am guilty of not reading ebay descriptions, usually when I am too excited to remember to check. But hey, if you said the auction only included one item in the description, you'll be covered by ebay's seller protection.

For the record, I could see someone mistakenly thinking it included both Pokeballs, but thinking it included the CD as well is just laughable. (Was it a good CD?)

I can understand the PokeBall mistake, for sometimes I don't read auctions like I should. Though, the CD is LOL worthy...XD

Reading comprehension: Always a useful tool. xD

Though I have to say I am extremely amused by the person thinking the CD was included. That's a good one. xD;;;;

Yep, I'm not worried, after all it was the FIRST line of the auction description and I even underlined it. It just strikes me as being silly. I don't expect people to read descriptions word-for-word (though I intentionally make them short), but at least the first line would be nice.

It was a blank DVD-R, hahaha. If they really wanted it, I would have sold it to them, but I somehow don't think they want it that badly.

Well, it was the first line, and I even underlined it. XD But yeah, the CD cracked me up. Do you really want the blank DVD-R that badly?

Seriously! I mean, I don't expect them to read it if I go on and on, but at least read the first line?

I know, right? Just a silly assumption. Now I know I'm going to have to idiot-proof listings and spell everything out as large and simply as possible. I'm sure people will still manage to overlook it.

If it was underlined, then I know I would not of missed it! Some people just forget how to read I guess?! :P
