It's readable... I've seen some on there that have given me a headache, so I sent them a question:
"Hi, could you please translate your advertisement from Crap to English so I can read it and then maybe bid please?"
You'd think ebay would mention this in their guide... You know to read it, take your time and spell it right..

It costs nothing to spell, punctuate and provide a bit of structure. Everyone makes a few typos occasionally, but these adverts hardly do the seller
any favours, unless they actually want to attract negative attention. If you are truly dyslexic (rather than one of the many that claim to be, but
are simply illiterate) then you get someone to proof read it.
EDIT: just to prove this I auto-corrected a misspelling of occasionally and managed to get "locationally" which I didn't even know
was a word. Learning through mistakes

Is one moaning about the moaning?
It should be "you're still a bunch of old women" not "your"

True, it's easy to say "teh" when just responding to a post, or like my missus, always puts "properly" when she means
"probably" but when you're selling something you really should take a minute and have a check...
