kraft, maybe you can write them a poem for appeasement:
Oh thread, oh, thread is not twine' nor should this concern really be mine. Take your persnickey self a walk on the wild side - and please visit a five and dime. oh thread, ohhh thread, dear buyer of mine this, tis not an explanation but all i can opinine.

(or..."there is always that iron-on stuff!!"

Send her a spool of thread. Oh, and make sure you enclose a needle tucked into the spool. Maybe she'll get the point. I'm bad.

Possible answers:

1. Dear Buyer

What exactly is your question?

2. Dear Buyer

Thanks for the laugh. I hope you enjoy your item.


3. Dear Buyer

There was no missing thread when I wrapped it. It must have been handled roughly by the Post Office (or carrier of your choice)


4. Dear Buyer

What big eyes you have!


I believe I really would be tempted to ask the buyer to clarify his/her request.

OK, just to play Devil's Advocate: how did you describe the item? Was it supposed to be in perfect condition? If so, then the 1.5 inch gap in the hemming would be something to complain about.

When I sell something, I examine it closely and describe any flaw I find. Buyers appreciate that sort of thing. A 1.5 inch gap in the hemming would have been something to mention.

I've seen posters here rant about buying something that arrived with a scratch or other flaw the seller never mentioned--they found much commiseration here and the person they bought from were hanged, 'figurately, in effigy...

I wondered about the description too. There are a few words that I very rarely use in an auction. Words such as flawless, perfect and mint just build up bidder's expectations.

"Dear Buyer, Thanks for the laugh...."

ROTFLMHO cherishedclutter!!!!!

P.S. It was a chenille bedspread. I told her to send it back and how sorry I was for the oversight. I would've given her a credit of some kind, but she only paid $12.00 for it. I'm tempted to buy something from her and do the same, but she only sells junk.
