arghh, my eyes.

What on earth are they selling though, is it obvious and am I going to look dim for asking?

Also note that they aren't responsible for lost items, bless.

EDIT: THis is also more proof of my theory that a seller breaking the rules is likely to have other issues. Once again check out their stars 4.2 for dispatch. It would almost be a kindness to get them banned.

OOh, OK I get it. Google is my friend.

Just a bit of research. As a buyer and seller always interested in what people's opinions of listings.

As a buyer what puts you off a listing?

One of mine is reams of T&Cs this makes me not even read the listing most of the time.

So what are yours?

For me it's got to be "Sellers standard rate" as a postage method on high value items so that's cheapest way then with no insurance, that and sold as seen erm I can't "see" it and usually it's delivery only :rolleyes:.

That doesnt bother me insurance is the sellers problem If the item goes missing they will still have to refund if it went through a paypal dispute

People who try and get more money for "insurance" get up my nose too

Yes that bugs me too

Payment must be made within 3 (or X amount of) Days of Auction end or item will be relisted
Its rubbish as ebay gives you 7 days

Badly spelled or punctuated listings, reams of terms and conditions, agressive 'non payers will be hunted down and killed' empty threats, and excessive postage charges.

This does it for me too

Text speak. Although there is a a very profitable product that is often badly listed by the inarticulate dingles that can be relisted very successfully.

And seeing more T&C's/rants/excuses/guff than actual description. I want top know about the item, not how uptight and bitter the seller is about a long past run in with an idiot.

Yes, and this.
