#1 eBay Pet Peeve Thread

[MansGame]

The #1 thing would have to be massive high BINs for the sure sake of just taking offers. I hate this practice and think eBay should just have a listing structure which is offers only. Just annoying as XXXX and irritates the hell out of me.

I received these from the same buyer about the same card in the last few days.
The auction is BIN/BO.

#1 """Whats the lowest your willing to take direct?"""
#2 """Whats the lowest can you do?"""

First off, the auction has, best offer available, so make your best offer. The buyers job is to get the card as low as he can, the sellers job is to get the most he can for it.
So, instead of asking me, what is my lowest I will take, which doesn't really interest a seller, make up your mind as a buyer, and come to your high price. Then use the auction as it is set up and send your offer. If it isn't enough, then we can go for there.

Second, why the hell are buyers allowed to ask the seller to sell the card direct and ebay doesn't block it or punish them. When at the same time if, I agree, I get suspended and can lose my acct. Aren't both an equal offense??? I can't sell direct, without a buyer first asking or agreeing. Ebay, policy is so pathetic right now. I always tell these people about ebay rules and that I won't sell direct. I have had a few of them get pissed at me for not doing it. And typically this offer ends up saving the buyer 10-20 bucks, while saving me nothing. So, the seller is being asked to risk losing their acct, to save the buyer, who doesnt give 2 shyts about the seller(or he wouldn't be asking), a few bucks. Yah, this is a great option for the seller.

When people end auctions early.

Just happened to me the other day.I thought auctions couldn't be ended early with only a few hours left?
