"We sale items in Ebay, Alibaba, Amazon ect."

"We sale items in Ebay, Alibaba, Amazon ect."

One of two sides of a gem-studded example of Engrish that arrived by post from Shanghai along with merchandise ordered on Amazon. The domain name may be a lame attempt to pun on "sail" and "sailor". But then, whoever wrote the copy on this side seems to think that "sale" is a verb and maybe thinks someone who sales is a salor. The copy on the other side gets "selling" right, so someone where the flyer was written knew the correct English even if someone else didn't.
