The Lyrics

Don'tcha hate it when you're tryna buy something online and the seller has no idea what they're doing.
I'm browsing through the marketplace now, tryna find replacements for parts decayed
Not a real easy task, though, since the bar of entry's so low
Yeah-eah (yeah), the description reads bad (bad), low accuracy
Yeah-eah (yeah), where's the "report" tool?
Listed by a (listed by a), listed by a (listed by a)
By a fool (listed by a fool), was listed by a fool (listed by a fool)
Was listed by a fool (listed by a fool), listed, listed by a fool

The picture that's on display now, that, that, that the best shot you could take?
Half blurry, half fuzzy, absolute joke now, buy a damn tripod for your phone
Yeah-eah (yeah), but I can still see that (that) doesn't match the screed
Yeah-eah (yeah), in the text, you tool
Listed by a (listed by a), was listed by a (listed by a)
By a fool (listed by a fool), listed by a fool (listed by a fool)
Listed by a fool, yeah-eah (listed by a fool), listed, listed by a fool

You need to check your information or submit your resignation
Or I guess delete your profile, that seems a bit less impactful, yeesh (not as sweet, not as sweet)
A-false a-truths, a-false a-truths a-leave a-stores

Alright

It was listed by a fool, by a total tool (listed by a fool)
That thing was listed by a fool (listed by a fool), yeah, listed, listed by a fool

Mmm-mmm, you're gonna get the boot, no longer can sell the loot
That you've dredged up from the streets and then claim it's mint condition, please
Yeah-eah (yeah), I can see the grease, cracked (cracked) beyond all belief
Oh-oh yeah-eah (yeah), bending ev'ry rule
Listed by a (listed by a), it was listed by a (listed by a)
By a fool (listed by a fool), listed by a fool (listed by a fool)
By a total tool, was a-listed (listed by a fool), yeah-eah, listed, listed by a fool
Lotta problems here to fix, fix (listed by a fool) since you're such a fool (listed by a fool)
That thing was listed by a fool (listed by a fool), oh-oh, listed, listed by a fool, please stop

Not right

(Listed by a fool) By a total tool (listed by a fool)
That thing was listed by a fool (listed by a fool), oh-oh, listed, listed by a fool
I know my laptop cable makes (listed by a fool), with that knowledge pooled (listed by a fool)
Know this was listed by a fool (listed by a fool), yeah, listed, listed by a fool

Oh, yeah
Don't want it listed by a fool, by a total tool (listed by a fool)
Know this was listed by a fool (listed by a fool), whoa-oh, listed, listed by a fool

Y'know, call me crazy, but I think Dire Straits were twisting, possibly in close proximity to a pool of some sort. I dunno, maybe if Mark Knopfler said it a million more times, it's a bit vague as it is.
