I've noticed there are certain terms that crop up repeatedly in car listings on ebay that can be read as a special code. These seem to be specific to ebay and different from all the usual stuff you see in the classifieds.
I'm selling this for a friend
This has two possible meanings. Firstly "I'm a trader so it isn't my name on the V5. " And secondly "I think that this absolves me of all responsibility."
I reserve the right to end the auction early
"If it doesn't reach the price I want I'll cancel all bids with five minutes to go, but I'm too tight to pay the reserve fee."
Re Listed Due to Timewaster
I was wasting the buyer's time.
Anybody spotted any others?
