Less than 1 hour to go on a 7 day auction, and I've had 4 ask seller a question emails. Want more pictures, does it have this, can it do that.
Where were all these people for 6 days and 23 hours?

Yup, I know how you feel. This just underscores, though, how many people just look at the brand-new items and the "ending today" items. Auctions get lost in the crowd, mid-week.

STILL COMING WITH LESS THAN 15 MIN TO GO. JUST ANSWERED 2 MORE!
I guess it was worth the hassle, closed $105.00 higher than it was an hour ago.

What really worries me is when the winning bidder waits until AFTER the auction has ended to ask all those questions.

Happens all the time baby. I had an auction of 16 Latin CD's with a starting price of 4.95. With 2 hours to go I get an email wanting me to send him the titles. Well I was out for dinner & he got zip. Do these people think that you are glued to the XXX computer??

Yep Sanmar glued to the computer is what they think. I had a guy email me last week about his package 3 times in one morning. Last email he said I was not communicating with him and he was going to turn me in (oooh scary) Geez a trip to the dentist and POST OFFICE ebay business (as if it mattered) and I'm a cheating sob. I explain I'm a one man operation, but it doesn't matter. Instant gratification.

Clutter, I listed an item at fifty cents no reserve. This doodle-head dukes it out with others to win at 16.00 bucks - then writes to me that she thinks I am a greedy ebay seller because she can get it at target for 13.99 or some god forsaken price. (I told her I think she needs to get a life.)
I dont hardly even watch my auctions anymore. I probably lose out not being right there to answer last minute questions...but, I pretty much say what I have to say in the auction. If I dont put the shipping because I havent guesstimated packed weight...I kind of feel they should check my fb and see I dont have any complaints for overcharging on shipping. Stupid assumption I guess. But I cant be bothered too much with them bugging me every five minutes anymore. I've lost the enthusiasm for it. Which some days, I think is really a shame that the fun has gone out of it.
