Ebay goodguy recommendation

[drewmac]

I'm posting this because Ebay sellers don't often get recommended for their excellent service here at B&B (although I know a few members here are Ebay sellers as well and I'm sure they are great).

This morning I went looking around the interweb for the cheapest price for Trumpers Violet. I know many upstanding websites that often get recommendations here have this cream, but I'm a poor 20-something teacher (yes, I only saved $1.00). After searching the Al Gore machine I found, "The American Shaving Company" on Ebay. Most of the time when I purchase things on Ebay, I get a shipping email a couple days later, if at all. An hour after placing the order for the cream, I received a very well written letter thanking me for my purchase and letting me know that it shipped! It was fantastic! The best part was that the person used full sentences and proper grammar!

I'll update this when I receive the cream to comment on packaging.

OMG! Like LOL!

ROFLMAO, dude!

I agree with Andrew. It is refreshing (and becoming rare) to find merchants and "business people" of the internet age that actually use the "Kings English" in their written communication.

While most folks speak, converse in forums, and write personal email in casual vernacular, I have always felt that business writings should be in complete and correct sentences.

SWMBO calls me an "Anal Bastard", but I also get "wound up" with those that don't know the difference between there, their, and they're . . . or use insure in place of ensure . . . or don't know the difference between affect and effect . . .

Well, maybe I am an Anal Bastard . . .

(Yes Officer, they're the ones standing over there next to their car! You may want to ensure that they are insured. What is bourbon's effect, and how did it affect them?)

Not wanting to hijack this thread more than I've already done, but until Prince Charles ascends to the throne, here in the great white north we generally call it the "Queen's English".

And yes, I'm completely in accord with you both, both on the use of language and about service from ebay sellers. I've made a note to look into that particular seller. I was going to make a pun and say "cellar" but I thought better of it.

Not meaning to offend my friends up north . . . but when we Yanks had our little uprising down here there was a King on the throne over there!

I was quoting my dear Nana, who always referred to proper language as "the King's English".

Cellar - that's funny!!
