Believe it or not, the bad spelling sends up a really big red flag for me. In the very few eBay transactions that I've been involved with that went bad, every time the seller had bad grammer/writing skills. Misspelled words, errors in punctuation, and incorrect capitalization in an auction listing always make me think twice about bidding. I know, that may not be such a definitive means of evaluating potential sellers but these items were all issues in the only bad transactions I've had on eBay auctions. If I had received emails from the current seller containing such errors, I would immediately be suspicious.
My opinion for what it's worth...
