Ebay Rant

Post by snoopy »

It really annoys me on E-bay when sellers do one of two things: either they start the bidding at what they want out of the item, or they set a reserve at what they want to get out of the item. I mean, it's nice that they want to sell something at a certain price- but E-bay auctions arn't the way to do that... all people have to do is go over to half.com and sell it there. (Mostly, it annoys me when I can't get a deal because people start autions at way more than I'm willing to pay.)

Anyone else have pet peeves about E-bay?

Of course they are. If they weren't then you woudln't be able to set a starting bid or a reserve.

Take your business to another auction instead of ranting here. You'll make a better point.
