As a buyer what puts you off a listing?

Trying to get higher in the search by offering Free P&P but have a look in the Listing

That ones on a dodgy wicket, already at 4.4 stars for postage so already on dangerous grounds without a policy breach warning being added.

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?

Eek I'm quoting myself. But listing duly pulled, and relisted with a totally bizzare listing http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEALED-NINTENDO-64-GAMES-10-RARE-SEALED-GAMES_W0QQitemZ380143616427QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_VideoGames_VideoGameConsoles_VideoGameConsoles?hash=item58825341ab&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1683|293%3A1|294%3A50 Aww bless him for trying though, most people would have given up long ago

If they really are worth £150 each why not just setup 10 auctions.

Just sent an offer of £20 :rotfl:

I always look if the things in the background of the picture look nice and clean. If the house or garden looks a mess chances are whatever you are buying won't have been looked after either. Also if people are selling clothes and don't bother to iron them for pictures that just screams laziness at me.

With our work it is often "for a full list please email" :rolleyes:

In the same style, just now bidding on a seller who claims to find out the postage price after the listing has finished. (and is "not responsible" for items lost or damaged if buyers don't have the right insurance :wall: )

Obvious ploy to top up the price, but I know what it will cost and if they quote me a silly price then I hope they will enjoy their neg and NPS report.
