eBay pet peeves! Post yours!

[anthrosphere]

When sellers are too lazy to post pictures of their item. I ask them a question about this and obviously I'm ignored. Good luck selling that bag you obviously don't have, scammer.

I also hate sellers who don't do their job and send out their items!! I bought the Aladdin DVD along with dozens of other people but the dumb seller didn't send it out. I guess she ran out but was too lazy or too clueless to remove the listing. Sad thing is, she was a new ebayer, too with just 4 feedbacks. She ignored all emails, too. Poor thing.

Of course they sent a sad story about being a full time student with no job

"Poor students" might be dealers. I have sold a bag below market price to a "poor student". I saw her selling it for the market price a week later and she had other designer items for sale as well.

I went back in my history and saw I actually bought it in December, so I have plenty of time. I already sent in the info to caroldiva to get it authenticated, so we shall see.

Have you heard anything back? I'm interested in Paypal's conclusion. I thought they accept manufacturer's statement of authenticity only.

Buyers who purchase and pay for an item and then ask a plethora of questions, including wanting more photos after you've already packaged up the item for shipping,

My current pet peeve is at myself. I found something I wanted and the current amount was reasonable so, I bid. The current bidder had it set higher than my max so I moved on. I found one with a good BIN price and bought it. Now, the bidder on the first auction, retracted. Yes, I knew better but, I saw the BIN and went for it. I hope I get outbid. Also, it did not show the reason for the retraction. Do they not do that any longer?
Slapping myself. Another reason I need to stop bidding on auctions, at least til the last minute. lol

Just got a one of those messages -- you realize X sells these for less

I wonder if he/she will realize they've been blocked.

As if the question weren't obnoxious enough, 40% of the feedback they've ever given was negative.

When buyers purchase your item and decided to cancel because they didn't do their homework. I just got my first cancellation on tradesy and I'm worried about my closet being suspended. So disappointed.

This happened to me years ago. I ended winning the auction too. I was so afraid that I was going to be kicked off ebay that I paid for both items.

Even worse, I was the winning bidder on an auction when someone listed a BO for the same item. I made an offer for the amount I was bid up to in the auction. My bid was rejected. I would have gladly paid the BIN price but I felt I couldn't because I was tied into the auction. Later I got outbid in the auction and the price bypassed the BIN item, at which point someone else snapped it up. I lost both. It took months for me to find another one.

I did decide to retract but couldn't. I asked the seller and she could not figure it out. lol Really nice lady, though. As it happened, I did get outbid so someone else will enjoy it!!!

You don't have to agree to the cancellation. I had one on Tradesy a long time ago. The buyer kept bugging me to cancel. I know she bought my item just to push her over the coupon limit. I gave in then but I wouldn't do it now.

I ask the seller if the bag I'm interested in has a hang tag (couldn't tell in photos due to positioning) and whether the dust bag is included. She responds, "No and no." I thanked her, and decided to go ahead and bid anyway. I was blocked from bidding! This has never happened to me. I have 100% positive ratings as both a buyer and seller, and I ALWAYS pay immediately, so I don't understand why I couldn't bid.

Don't take it personally. If you read this thread, this is the new norm. The seller has probably done you a favor.

That's ridiculous.

When a seller marks your item as "shipped" but does not actually ship it for a couple more days.

Seriously! But yeah, count your blessings. Do you really want to do business with that kind of seller? There are too many other sellers than to patronize that one.
