What annoys you about buyers most?

I believe in positive feedback as soon as I see someone has paid and would hope that sellers would do the same as the feedback is for paying. I have had some cases where feedback has never been left when I have bought items aswell.

When they pay by cheque and expect the item immediately not when payment has cleared.

Buyers who think you can post the item as soon as it's paid for, I stated 3 days handling time for a reason because I can't post items daily that need to go via post office.

told you it was contraversial :rotfl:

but i look at it this way, they may have paid promptly but that doesnt mean they arent going to do a chargeback or even have used paypal fraudulently - at least waiting to leave feedback gives you the chance to leave realistic feedback for the whole transaction which is what i regard it is the sellers duty to do not just on whether they paid or not

I used to think like that untill i had a buyer threaten to leave me negative feedback if i didnt post his item out before it cleared, then decided to start being rude and abusive towards me for no reason!
I now wont leave feedback until i know that my buyers have recieved their items and are happy with them.
There are many members of ebay that are TSFE and a lot of them dont understand the concept of ebay itself let alone the feedback system that operates on there. I would rather cover myself as well as other sellers/buyers from people like this by leaving feedback after the transaction is complete and everyone is satisfied.

Please don't turn this thread into the weekly who should leave feedback first argument.

An addition to No1 from Hintza, No commas at the end of a line of the address. With Ebay they all run into each other, not to difficult with most from England but much more difficult from Wales. Apologies to all Welsh contributers.

Everyone entitled to own belief no intention in getting into a debate

The 'paying by methods not accepted' has got to me this week.

Buyers who say this should have been packed better (more bubble wrap etc) but then you ask if item was damaged and offer an exchange and they say no it's fine, can't understand their point really. Must just like moaning.

(I did notice I have one part of my address with bad use of capitals today thanks to this thread as it's been the same since I registered years ago it's now been changed)

Then there are the "buyers" who claim to have sent a postal order - not received - then claim it was a cheque ...

And then claim it was a postal order again when they file for item not received.

You have to bite your keyboard and resist the temptation to tell them to **** orf.
