One possible explanation is that your computer can't support certain characters. Each character that is displayed on your screen is actually a binary value represented by a series of ones and zeroes. These values are defined in a "character set," which includes a range of letters, numbers, and symbols. If the character set is not defined in an email or your system does not support it, some characters may show up as a question marks.Even if your computer does support all the characters in an email, you may still see question marks or other strange characters if the character encoding doesn't match. The character encoding specifies how each character is encoded as a binary value. Therefore, if your email client does not support the character encoding used in the sender's email, some characters may appear incorrectly.Most often, if you see a random question mark here or there, it is probably a special character, like ñ, é, or —. These characters are not part of the standard ANSI character set and require a specific character encoding, such as UTF-8 or ISO 8859-1. If you see a bunch of question marks in a row, it is probably a series of characters from a non-Western language, such as Chinese or Arabic.The other possibility is that the Chinese are using Ebay to send encoded messages. Then of course there's the possibility that someone has an overzealous pinky or a sticky ?/ key!!!
??????????????????????????Now this is getting ridiculus, some people have way???? too???? much time on there hands????DOH
Just happy to share!!!!?????
Wow!!!! ????
I had no idea what my original post would turn into!!!! ????
Guess I could just ask the seller why his responses look the way they do.
As for Resurrection Drums, they've been in business a long time. I remember seeing their ads in Modern Drummer back in the late 80's and 90's, so I have no reason to doubt their honesty.

Concerning all the ???, here's the response from Jeffrey at Resurrection Drums... also about my comment about seeing their ads in Modern Drummer in the 80's or 90's:
[COLOR="Blue"]Hey Mark!
Dude! I have no idea how those ???'s got in there, BUT... this has happened to me once before!
Weird! Sorry, I wish I knew !?
They just inserted themselves!
Must be the Riddler!
PS.... I am the owner of Resurrection Drums, and was hired as a teacher with 3 students on a Saturday in 1990 by the original owners, and took over the shop in 1998! Yes, The Kill on Command Ads were Awesome!
Thanks for writing!

Ah!... and that's what I had initially thought as mentioned in post #8!.. but .. "others" said otherwise, so... is it a mysterious "code".. or .. is it a "glitch" ???!!! ( I inserted those! ) As I had mentioned prior, the ONLY TIMES I have ever seen all those ??????????????'s were in replies generated through eBay. Unless of course Jeffery Lee isn't being factual here... but what would be the motive for that???!!! Cue up "The Twilight Zone" theme...
