What frustrates you most about eBay?

NPB's for sure. I've had somewhere in the range of 400-500 so far this year. Have 1 person in West Palm Beach who will win 30-40+ lots from Bowman Draft each time I list a lot of them. He/She keeps creating a new ID (with same name and address) and bidding on my lots. Last name is Stratton. Can't remember the address at the moment.

Had this one this morning.

Guy bought 2 cards on BIN. I sent him a combined invoice and he still pays separate.

ugh

I've noticed lately that a lot of people don't even mention the condition of the card in the description which is frustrating.

This because if you don't get the condition actually perfect in your description, the buyer will use this to exploit a refund of some kind if they don't like something on the card and has buyer remorse, since they bought on the hype train, and was going to try an flip the card but the prices have dropped so they would take a lose if they try and re-sell it.
I'm not saying they should not list anything wrong with the card if you can clearly see it. I'm just saying so people just don't want to have to deal with someone who looks for ever angle to get something for nothing I guess.

Why should they? Giving a description is ammo for an item not received as described claim

"Ya hai bro, you said the card was mint but this looks more like nr mnt to me....send me a partial refund to fix this or ill file a claim bro"

Let the scan speak for itself

Buyers who can't figure out how to pay. Example, guy wins 3 items from me. I send invoice within 1 hour after auctions close. I get an email the next day requesting an invoice. Second invoice sent. The next day I get an email asking if I combine shipping. I answer yes, it was reflected on both invoices. Same day I get another request for an invoice. Are you fracking kidding me? Figure it out. 5 days now and he still hasn't paid.

For me, it's the little value they place on sellers, and the few options we have. I had a buyer recently take almost 14 days to pay (paid the day before a NPB case would close) for a $100 item. I ship it out the next day, and sure enough, the day it arrives, the person contacts me to return it. Of course I have to accept the return, so now I have to hope the card is returned in the same condition, refund, and hope I can get the $ back when I relist. What do I get for the headache of it all? I have to pay fees, and hope the buyer doesn't go and try to hit me with low DSR and or bad feedback.

man don't get me started on that. i take my previous answer back - this is by FAR my biggest pet peeve.

I once had a guy buy 10 cards from the Topps Diamond set and paid for each one separately. There must be some phone app that you hit BIN, stay logged in with paypal, and it just automatically pays. 10 different times within like 15 minutes! $2.70 right down the crapper. I'm going to lose about $300-400 this year b/c buyers do this.

So much this. I've read and seen so many issues with this that I put a tag in my auctions specifically stating that I'm not a grader, look at the picture and decide for yourself.
