A customer sends payment without being notified of the total amount due. They almost always get the amount wrong and usually in their favor.
A customer tell me what shipping cost should be. I've only been doing this for four years so I guess I need help figuring it out.
A customer says ship it the cheapest way. Sometimes it's only a few cents difference and then they cry about slow shipping.
A customes ask what an item weighs when it is clearly stated in all my auctions.
A customer states that payment is late due to a death in the family yet they are still bidding on eBay during the funeral.
A customer retracts a bid for a reason that is not within the guidlines and buys the same item from someone else.
A customer wins an auction and then a week later wins another and wants to combine shipping. The first email from them of course is the combined shipping request without a name or address.

10. When a seller sends me a little meat in the book he has stored in his garage. I am vegetarian!
11. When a buyer with no fb signs up at Christmas, immediately bids up a plate to $71.00 because it has a picture on it needed for a gift. He wins and doesn't leave fb. The NERVE! NOT!!!!!

Customer never replies to your EOA email with their address and then sends money order for the wrong amount ( can't match amount or name/address) and scribbles so horribly you can't believe it was even delivered to you but you can't send it back because you can't read their address...........OR wins four auctions from you, you send them one EOA with total auctions and one shipping fee combined, then they send FOUR paypal payments so you are out an extra 30 cents for the extra three. I know it's only 90 cents, but still......coral

15. I hate it when a buyer receives her dress and emails me to say it doesn't fit and wants to return it ... when all she needs to do is go on a diet & it will fit perfect !!  That's a no brainer

"ADD YOURS'
Mine do just fine Thank you very much. Guess I have just missed the lovely problems. I think really if you sell junk you get junk buyers and if you sell classic material you draw class. Now I expect to get roasted over this but never the less it has been my near four-year ebay experience.

kiara-I thought my husband was the only one that did that.
Now I have never had any of those problems, believe it or not I have never been asked to lower postage, I suggest two different types when I send my EOA and let them pick.
Quite a few (maybe 75%) of my auctions are paid instantly and ALWAYS include the postage. In 3-4 years selling and buying I have had only 3 NPB. I have really nothing to complain about except I haven't the time to put on the amount of auctions that I would like.
Okay No comments Jack...
One more thing I will wait a week to combine auctions if I have a bidder that has bid on another.

Kiara, that's better than having your boyfriend put on YOUR bikini while you take pictures of him with the power tools.

16. When a bidder in Hawaii, Alaska, or has a PO Box INSISTS that YES UPS will deliver via ground rate to them - they do it all the time and that's the rate that they want.

19. When the customer sends an email wanting to know your address so that they can send payment without sending their address so that you can calculate shipping cost and send them the total amount due.
