Listed something for sale. Get a message saying it is available and what are dimensions. No hello? No please? Such basics.
Edited to add: the dimensions are already in the for sale advert.

They arent there to be mates with you are they. its called business.

Does someone have to be my friend to be polite to me?

Its called manners. You say please and thank you to whoever you speak to. Doesnt matter if its asking about something for sale.
