OK, my favourite is:

'Is your poster really from 1967? I'd like to get a newer one.'

Betreff: Re: [MOPO] post your best "stupid questions"

partially related to posters but related to poster purchase:

"I bought a poster from your for $25 but my bank charged me additional $25
for
using the card outside of the country, so please refund the difference. I am
not allowed to use this card abroad"

and another nice one:

"i have seen the same poster at much higher price. would your refund my
purchase
if my expert tell that this is fake and not original"..

and there are ton's more of these..

yes I always thought it was a funny question (if not downright ignorant)

"Oh where do you get these?"

the correct answer....
"YOU get them right here"

Where did you get them?

For some reason, It always surprises me and I find it difficult to answer.

I actually meant that the text is part of / in the image. This way the
words
are not part of the auction and you don't have a problem with searches.
And
you can give the image or animated gif certain colors or animations to
draw extra attention to it.

This will not work if someone searches     video     or      dvd

I suggest you write it as follows because then it will not show up under
video or dvd searches.

This is not a v-i-d-e-o          This is not a d-v-d


People who search "video" or "dvd" will not pick up the fact that you
wrote a negative word in front of it.

Maybe an image with the text " THIS IS NOT A VIDEO. THIS IS NOT A DVD"

do the trick. You may even make it a animated gif and give it a red
blinking border or something like that.

Really good point but this should only happen if one is searching by
description, as opposed to title only and I have no statistics on whether
the
totally unsophisticated search that way. Unfortunately I think some people
just don't read. FRANC

All of you should realize that by putting "THIS IS NOT A VIDEO. THIS IS
NOT
A DVD" in the description, you greatly increase the chance of this
happening,
because by have those words in the description means anyone searching for
those items will find YOUR items in their search!

You're lucky. I get these ALL THE TIME even though my postings all say in big bold print: THIS IS NOT A VIDEO. THIS IS NOT A DVD. Usually the buyer completes and pays for the transaction and then sends an e-mail saying, "I just ordered a video from you." This is to ensure additional work on my
part, cancelling the transaction through Ebay so that I can get my
commission
fee back and reversing the PayPal payment. It also means I have to
recreate
the listing for my dbase which automatically deletes listings once a
purchase
is made. I love customers who don't read the listing.

The second dumbest question that I get ALL THE TIME and love to death is from people who see I'm selling a lobby card from let's say The Bride Wore
Boots who'll write to me and ask where they can find the DVD because
they've been looking all over for it. FRANC

I know I don't sell as many items as many of you all do, but I still have yet (knock on wood) to have a single person complain that they thought
they
were ordering a DVD, or ask a DVD question while the auction was running.
