I would like to know if the things that pester me bother other sellers. And what are things that may irk you guys.

1-Questions that are clearly answered in auction

2- Questions like -will this fit me? Do you think my hubby or boyfriend will like it?

3- eMail addresses that need to be unlocked -- like those blame Earthlink ones

4-Will you send it marked "gift" on international sales

5-Will you take a personal check but need it sent immediately

6-If this item does not sell can I buy it for nothing? (actually practically nothing)

7-I found one of these on another seller's auction. But not my size (theirs is size 8) or not the color I want. Yours is the right size (26W)and the very color I need. Will you match their price?


These are some that grate my nerves.

I beg your pardon. I don't irk anyone. LOL kidding.

I too am irked LOL at the stupid questions I get that are obviously answered in the auction if they would just read what I greatly bothered to post in the first place.

Other thing that bothers me most is selling old or used items I get questions like do I have other size or color- duh like I have an endless supply of the elusive thing in first place.

How about....

1) I just saw your listing. I have one just like it. Would you be interested in buying it from me?

2) Can you tell me your source for that item?

3) I'm a non-profit... would you be willing to donate the item to me?

4) Can I pick up the item locally?

5) Payments that arrive with no names/addresses/item# or other identifying information.

I'm sure there's more that I'm forgeting!

2. Bidders from NYC.

3. Winning bidders from NYC.

4. Emails from winning bidders in NYC telling me to ignore my shipping practices and do it their way..

5. Shipping items to NYC.

This is to username "irked" I am sorry.
I did not even think about your username when I typed my subject title. Hope you are not offended. Hopefully you will not be bashed.

UPS, UPS, UPS and UPS..... oh yeah... and the idiot that now wants me to ship his package a third time at my expense because he finally remembered that he moved and never changed his address with PayPal and I have not been shipping to the right address.

I thought it funny no offence taken. Classic already bashed me but I get a laugh and that is the most important thing to take away from the board other than the educational value we get here most times.

Classic here is a someone who cares.

The following are some reworded ASQ I've received in the last few months and the answers I would have liked to send:

Q. That's a picture of the coffee shop my Grandfather built and worked at for 30 years. Will you give it to me?

A. No, cough up the $7 listed price and it's yours forever.

Q. Your description says circa 1910 and that building wasn't built until 1911.

A. So sue me.

Q. Where do you get your cards?

A. Wouldn't you like to know.

Q. If I buy 7 cards, will you sell them to me for $1 each?

A. If I give you $1, will you go away?

Irked Pincushions !

$6 each, and that includes shipping! Each little guy is stitched by hand, so yours will differ slightly from the one pictured.

One thing's for sure... they will arrive at your door quite irked!

Buyers from CA that ASAQ about an item with damage requesting more photos of damage, get item and then are upset about the damage......

Non-bidders wanting you to appraise their item that is almost like yours....

That infomercial for SMC that comes on at 1:00.....everyday......

and now you can add the Video Professor, he is giving away a free "Get started on Ebay" cd with every purchase.

also on my list:

Meg
People that take 10 days to pay you with PayPal
People who whine because Priority Mail does not arrive in 2 days when shipped from Florida to California
People who copy my auctions word for word because they are too lazy to think for themselves.
