hey, just noticed that when I write 'o f f e r s' in a post it changes to 'look on ebay'



what gives?

We keep getting problems blowing up around threads asking for o-f-f-e-r-s and although we haven't stopped people from doing it, yet, we would prefer it if a seller that is fishing for a price didn't do it here.

Saves interested buyers from being both buyer and seller and also limits the chances of accidentally insulting someone with a lower than anticitpated o f f e r    It seems to be working well with nothing silly dropping out of it so far so definitely a good move

But what if you want to say something like:

looking for a £150 but feel free to throw some o f fers at me?
