What's up with that?" So I go and look and sure enough, I uploaded the wrong reverse photo. So I write him back and thank him and tell him I'll get it fixed. Trouble is, there's already a bid on it so I can't just delete one photo and upload the other. So...using ebay's system I cancelled the bid and left a reason why "Wrong photo for reverse shown" So...now I attempt to revise the listing but it still won't let me...even though there are no bids and I'm 4 days away from the end of the listing. It'll let me add an additional photo, but I can't take out the wrong one. Why? I ended up cancelling the listing because that was the only way I could think of to get that wrong photo out of the mix. Was there some other course I could have taken? Report this Post to the Staff

As a result, it flummoxes the average user trying to do something right, and the cheaters simply cheat harder. :-) Since ebay gets paid in either case, their official position is "Meh."

14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 06:48 am The replies to your question seem to be going down the path of the "Dummy" remark rather than giving you any help with your ebay problem. I can't help you with it either and I will go down the "Dummy" path too! I have never and would never sent a message like that to anyone on ebay. I have gotten them in reply though. Once I kindly pointed out to a seller that her 1863 CC dollar had to be fake since the Carson City mint did not strike a dollar until 1870. "Dummy" was to mild for her reply.

weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 3:10 pm Haha! Sorry everyone. I was paraphrasing what the buyer said...and sort of using literary license for what he was probably thinking. I'm way too much of a hot-head to have calmly tolerated someone actually calling me a dummy!! (Even though I sure felt like a dummy when I realized he was right!!) Report this Post to the Staff
