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?

Music playing
A million flashing lights
A page that loads slowly because of this
A pagelong blurb about god knows what
Poor spelling and grammar
Threats about hunting buyers who don't pay
Claiming non delivery is not the responsibility of the seller
Poor photographs
Excessive postage costs (we're not stupid!!)

This is just awful ,why is it necessary to say this?
" I do not accept rude e-mails, blackmail and happily accept my share of negatives doled out by the unscrupulous and unreasonable. 99.5% of e-bayers are brilliant and lovely people. That leaves the 1 in 200 who are not. For the latter please take your business elsewhere."

I don't know about you but today I've been finding loads of those listings, and if they're like that I realy can't even be bothered to read the description. As i've been looking at lego today I seem to have found doing that is a trick when a set isn't complete.

I sometimes look for stuff thats ending at 2am you can pick up some bargains

you'd think that or at least i did too, i was watching a laptop that ended at 3.30am, at midnight it was still at only £50 with 1 bid (starting price was £50) so i decided to stay up and see what happens, any way not another bid was made until it 3.15 when all hell broke out and this laptop went upto £350 with about 15 bids, with a total of of about 6 bidders on it, i couldn't beleive i had sat up and wasted all that time, i was gutted lol

Oh bless, I do hope he has an alternative career lined up :rotfl:

Once again though a seller who charges excessive p and p being caught out by the new rules. I am beginning to see why ebay imposed the p and p rules when I see someone wanting £2.99 for a memory card to cover everything including his fuel costs.
