What annoys you about ebay?

[little*red]

Following from dionnes ebay watchers thread, i thought id ask "what annoys you about ebay?".

i hate it when you leave feedback for people and they dont leave you any
also when your trying to communicate with buyers or sellers and they dont get back to you!

What you said - plus some people just try to rip you off

People who take my money then don't send me the stuff - the annoying thing is they had loads of good feedback and it was for 2 balls of wool - total cost under a fiver..what's the point? Not like she made much out of it

I'm having the same snags at the moment wanting to buy summit that isn't cheap (2K) and he hasn't answered tis driving me mental

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Ive not had any problems so far, and I only buy from buyers who have 100% feedback and has great comments

people that dont clean items.

i am so fussy and worry so much when some one comes to collect incase its not as nice as they thought etc, i clean my buggies loads even the wheels

i bought a buggy once still had crums all over the seat.

When people sell something really cheap but try and charge far too much for postage to make up for it

When I wait ages for a 10p listing day - then miss it!!

There was one Thursday, now it'll be ages. But I've got loads to list and could do with the discount.

When you win something & pay straight away, then the seller waits for you to leave feedback before they do.....
I always pay straight away, but know if I gave neutral or neg feedback if they deserved it I would get a neutral or neg back

Seller fee's. Surely a listing fee is enough, let alone paying to list the item then paying again a percentage of the total sale cost. For those who don't sell heaps you end up paying out more in fee's than it's worth to sell the odd item or two.

I just did a few listings on 10p day, then one of them was removed for saying "if you pay by paypal please add 10%"

I never knew there was anything wrong with saying theat... they said I was trying to get out of paying Ebay fees....erm.... no! I just want some of my paypal fees back! :

Plus if they'd have contacted me about it I would have removed the words myself, they didn't have to remove the whole thing, now it'll cost me more to list cos it isn't 10p listing day

 

[little*red]

argh ive just realise the last three people ive dealt with on ebay havent left me feedback even though ive left them some (all positive)

bought -tiger woods Ps3 game- left feedback- none left for me!

sold- angel picture - left feedback - none left for me !

bought- pregnancy tests - none left for me!

HOW RUDE! Why cant people just quickly write something like 'good ebayer' or 'recommended' it takes them about 2 seconds as you can do all you feeback at once.

Urchin I've had that happen to me before too, I mentioned something about paying via paypal was ok on a debit card or funds straight from their paypal account but that funds coming to me via a credit card add 10% or something like that (this was ages ago). My post was removed also for the same reason. Honestly listing fees, final valuation fee's and then paypal fee's - I was getting pennies by the time the sale had finished. I no longer use Paypal and last week closed my ebay account. Had enough of it really.

this is what annoys me too..

i think if your a seller you should give feedback to the buyer first, especially if you have paid the same day as the listing ended

i currently have 7 sellers still waiting to leave feedback for me, and i have given them theres and requested they complete transaction by leaving feedback, but nope they dont and i pay straight away, so annoys me!

 

[laetitia85]

late dispatch annoys me!
and no communication, i hate it!! still waiting for a reply for a moses basket i paid for, that still hasn't arrived after nearly 2 weeks!!!
and got my steriliser without the instructions! still waiting for those to arrive too

When it gets down to the last 30sec of an auction and your winning, then someone comes in and wins it





Although I have done that too.......but thats different

I hate that too!

Especially when your PC is on a go-slow and you keep refreshing but miss it by a couple of seconds
