And if I see one more piece of ugly Farrow and Ball-painted-brown-furniture-gingham-patterned-with-heart-motif-distressed-1960s tat listed as 'shabby chic' I think I'll go off my rocker.

any "shabby chic" tat makes my blood boil

The one that horrified me was a lovely old oak sideboard in a charity shop, in unusually good condition for its age (the only thing I could have done to improve it would have been to vacuum the insides of the drawers which were a little dusty) with a sign declaring it an "ideal shabby chic project":eek:

Most of them!
'you are bidding on' - no I am not I am just reading your description
'happy bidding' - patronising & over optimistic
'sort after' - can't even spell
'see photo' - too lazy to describe

"Brand spanking new"

What is the "spanking" about? - I'm not a pervert!

'this item is listed elsewhere...'

porto_bello

Seeing "WOW!" and/or "LOOK!" in the item title or at the beginning of the description is just about the biggest turn off that makes me want to look elsewhere!

Wish that people who smoke would admit it on their wording and warn non-smokers. Smells become ingrained and it permeates through not only fabric, leather goods but also things like electronic items, book pages , etc.

If I had been told on the wording in advance something friendly like " Hi I'm a smoker so please bear this in mind before bidding" I could have the choice to body swerve their items, and not have their stale cigs scent foisted on me.

And also people with furry friends, why not add "I own several cats with black fur and I can guarantee their hairs will be stuck to every conceivable part of your item upon arrival ,just a heads up if you have a tendency to feline induced anaphylaxis "

'Stunning'

As in stunning t shirt.

That usually means it's a stunningly well worn dish rag.
