As a buyer what puts you off a listing?

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.

omg, this is bad enough but the caps? ouch my eyes!

ALL ITEMS MUST BE PAID FOR IMMEDIATELY AFTER AUCTION ENDS VIA PAYPAL.

How can I help you?

Well for a start when I ask about tracked services you can stop telling me about how to safely wrap my items and when I asked about a foreign address why did you feel the need to lecture me on potentially hazardous substances that cannot be sent overseas (it was a book for goodness sake!).

Thanks to my lovely (!!) friend Shannon who loves arguing with virtual bots - We now know that:

You :
cos you're !!!! [sh*t]

You've gotta love the fact that if you do pay "immediately" then you can't pay the p+p, unless the seller is more immediate with their invoicing. :rolleyes:


Just found a buy it now that has apparently been relisted for the third time- would you really want to give £800 to this vigilante?

I once saw a picture of a woman holding up a dress on a hanger with her husband sat in the background watching telly in a skimpy dressing gown. For some reason it put me right off.

I hate OTT t&c and hardly any description
The musical ones I click off straight away
Multicoloured fonts
VERY LARGE FONTS that have to be scrolled down for each word
(This is going to sound a bit snobby) Woodchip wallpaper in the background or scruffy looking carpets
I dont like manequins with their "bits" showing
And tbh I don't like to see clothes being previously enjoyed by their current owner, it makes me cringe (but thats probably just me )

I wonder if he might make the font a little larger, I appear to be struggling with it :rotfl:

Oh dear, one rant after another about nasty bad ebay. Oh, and any suggestion that we should make silly 50p offers will result in a stern look from me. :whistle:

I saw one earlier that said 'Attention :if you can not leave us a positive feedback , please DO not bid ouritems !'

How are you going to know if you're going to leave positive feedback until the transaction's complete?

Haha reminds me of the time I was looking at a pair of PVC trousers being worn by their previous owner. The description was 'I am an adult movie star looking to clear out my extensive collection of fetish and kinky items...' The picture was of her bending over her kitchen worktops, and lets just say, she wasn't the best looking of women :eek: It makes me cringe just thinking about it, as if the picture wasn't enough to put me off, the thought of what she was doing last time she wore the trousers was!
