Here are mine:
- Don't insult my intelligence by overcharging for shipping and "handling". If a reasonable SWAG is made that covers shipping to all of CONUS, and the actual difference would be a dollar or two, then fine. Most times, though, all the idiot's doing is stuffing it into a friggen box and putting an address on it. It's not like the only post office or shipping place is 50 miles away.
- State the shipping costs up front. Don't tell me you'll tell me after the auction closes, because if it's $20, I won't want the POS. Then what? Decline and suffer the dreaded "negative feedback"? I'll email a seller before even putting in a bid to check on shipping. If it's too high or they don't even reply, screw `em.
- Don't start a dumbass auction with a $50 opening bid, a $52 reserve, and a "BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!" at $55. How pathetic. If you're trying to sell some piece of crap, just admit you're trying to sell it and let's not pretend it's an "auction".
- Let's be a little more, er, "accurate" in our descriptions. Good pictures help to wade through the horse-puckey. I've passed on every poorly photographed item I've had any interest in.
Grrr, don't get me started...
