This came up on one of my searches. I would bid well if this wasn't damaged. What ARE they doing? Nothing like partying down while doing the eBay.
My rant is with people who climb on a listing bandwagon. I search 'picture record'; you just saw an example if you checked out the auction. Record sellers have radared in on the fact that putting 'picture sleeve & record' in their listing title seems to be desirable. Buncha boneheads that don't know butt butter from apple butter if ya ask me. So I gotta change my search to 'disc' now to dis the PC seller crowd. IT'S AN ALBUM COVER, MORONS!
Anybody else got one?

I never heard them referred to as picture records before. I always knew them as Picture Discs.
My pet peeves is with a very small line of action figures. There is one set that is super rare. The pieces from that set go for beween $35 and $200 each when they can be found. There is also a generic style in the same theme (not style, just theme) that are loose and I can buy by the 100's at a time in Mexico for under $2 each. Inevitably the idiots that are selling the generic ones use the name of the rare ones in their title.
I have done searches where 30-40 items come up using the right keywords and not a single one of them is actually one of the figures their title would imply it was.

My pet peeve is when someone wears out his welcome, then changes his name and comes back posting only to not fool anyone. Right bidsbids, auctionace, parklane.

You know, dumas, I was NARUed on eBay before your nemesis earned your enmity. Look up PARKLANE64. If you have a beef with somebody else, go find them. I don't go by any other name. Now go get yours embroidered on your belt so as I can remember your name.
P.S. I remember Auctionace, at least HE was entertaining.

Here we go again!!!
Parklane asked a legitimate question and has a legitimate beef with some sellers who misrepresent their items.
She asked about other peeves relating to ebay listings ONLY!!!
Stonecold has to come in here and start a personal attack.
Speaking for myself only, I'm getting damn sick and tired of everytime I view a thread that someone honestly began to either vent their frustrations or to get suggestions for a problem they are experiencing, some joker has to jump in and begin attacking.

Paloma - nope, not transformers. If I could buy those in bulk I would probably try to sell some (as generics of course)

one of my pet peeves are the ones who don't know how to make a paragraph in the description. the description, shipping, everything in one big glob and in no order. i usually get tired of reading and back out.

My pet peeve is auctions that treat potential bidders as defacto deadbeats. Umpteen rules are detailed thelling you what will happen if you don't respond within so many minutes of the end of the auction, if you don't pay within "x" amount of days, negatives will be left for this that & the other, etc. etc. etc.
I back on out and go look at other auctions where the seller doesn't have a burr up his butt.

myoldtoy, I have not been on eBay in quite a while as I have been NARUed. I refuse to dance for eBay as, IMHO, I did nothing wrong. I don't sell on eBay, and, as my daughter has learned to her chagrin, if you buy me something off of eBay it is a gift. If STONECOLD is an example of the pimply-faced adolescent pukes encountered there, I'm well off.
