What to do with goofball sellers?

So theres this used watch I'm asking the seller about, I asked the condition of the crystal, heres the goofball answer I get: honestly it doesnt really have crystals man. i just liked how it looked The seller is kaca_marine. What am I supposed to do with that? I just flagged the item with a note that I'll know what variety of seller they are so I don't accidentally bid. Is there nothing else to do I suppose? Paradox04|||I would venture to estimate half of the people in American don't know what the crystal of a watch is. He's just selling a watch, he doesn't have to know what each part is called. Instead of stirring up trouble, why not ask " What is the condition of the glass?"|||Well, I'm not stirring up trouble, and that reply did not look like he didn't know. If people don't know what a word is, they should ask or look it up. Its way too easy to find. I really didn't think I was being too technical.||||||that reply did not look like he didn't know. I think you are reading a lot more into this than really exists. What am I supposed to do with that? Laugh and move onto someone who knows what they are doing? Is there nothing else to do I suppose? What else do you think could be done? Report to eBay that a seller did not answer to your satisfaction and you have interpreted it to mean the seller is lying or acting with some more sinister motive? What you think is common knowledge about watch crystals may not be as common as you think.|||Why do you think he knows?Seemed like a honest I don't know what that part is to me.It may not be your fault but it is your responsibility Silver rule "do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you"|||Speaking a common language doesn't always mean two people will understand each other. From the response your seller gives, it almost sounds like he may have put an entirely different construction on the word "crystal" than you meant. Since he responded in the plural, perhaps he thought you were asking if the watch had some kind of strange or esoteric "New Age/Spiritual" function. Maybe that's the only context he knows or has ever experienced the word meaning. The second half of the answer suggests that he really doesn't know much about watches, or about this watch in particular. He just bought it because he liked how it looked.|||Move onCan I please have 5 stars?
