reading is different then comprehension, I listed several auctions that
had 2 pictures and only a two line description like this

<2 pictures of items>
1) Auction includes a set of 3 books pictured above.
2) Shipping is fixed $15 shipped anywhere worldwide

Got emails like,

1) "Your auction is confusing, how much is shipping?
2) "Do I get 6 books or 3 books? Please clarify" (one picture was of
the front cover of the books, the other the back cover)
3) "Do you ship outside USA, if so how much?"
4) "If I want 3 books do I have to win 3 of your auctions?"
5) "What do the books look like?

After winning the auction, one winner only paid $5 for shipping, cause
" well thats what I always pay, if you claim that your auction said it
was $15 then well, I guess I have to believe you".  This was after I
asked him to re-read the auction text! :(
