RTFA

Used as feedback to noobs or joos expecting something for nothing on Ebay.Always remember to "Read The Fuckin Auction "before you bid and assume nothing.Wo to the person who ever gets RTFA in their feedback on Ebay,their only option is to go and lay by their dish.

I think I will cancel this noobs bid since he has RTFA feedback from other sellers.
