"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."

Notice how specific the message is... It must be so you won't think there was an error in the seller.

That's with shipping option now. Seller says "Many people has asked if he can ship it"

So he was referring to himself in the third person and treating "people" as a singular noun? I can't speak for everyone, but personally I'd hesitate to buy from this seller based on their grammar alone. UK peeps are expected to be more literate than we, if anything. Indeed, the whole thing seems rusty shady. Just saying.
