They probably have dyslexia or have not managed to attend school,

I'm sorry, I've known people like this and cannot bring myself to laugh at such a poor effort Sad

normally I am a proper pedant but this just makes me sorry for their embarrassment.

Not so sure. I have a severely dyslexic friend who's fully aware of her problems and doesn't so much as post status updates on Facebook, much less post lengthy ads on eBay. This reads like someone who doesn't really give a shit. (And can spell nothing except 'antique', bizarrely.)

Or maybe they just want to use ebay and don't have anyone else to help?

I don't know. I just feel sorry for them.
