Did you ever wonder why sellers are now wanting the buyer to put on feedback first? As long as the buyer pays on time why should the seller not give feedback? If he is worried about his product then he should have described it better. Give the buyer feedback in a timely manner!

Did you ever wonder why someone will put one .12 issue among 99 other 2.95 issues and call it a silver age/modern age collection? For pete's sake just say you are trying to sell off some of the new stuff you no longer want!

Did you ever wonder why someone would have a statement like "See scan for condition of book"? The scan does not show that there are pages missing, or coupons cut out, or beards drawn on every woman's face. Get off your lazy ass and describe what you are trying to sell.

Did you ever wonder why someone would start the bidding at .99 and then list the shipping at $14.99? Why not start the bidding normally?

Did you ever wonder why someone would not combine shipping? How can you pre-package items when you do not even know who they are going to? I won a couple of books from one seller. They came in seperate packages and I looked closely and there was NO WAY to tell what was in the package before the issue was placed in the package. Why even go to the trouble of saying that these were pre-packaged? Why not just say "Hey I want more of your money and am going to make it on shipping"

Did you ever wonder when bidding on eBay why the shipping was so different? I know that I do and I know that I hate paying $5 for shipping and receiving a package with the postage marked $1.92. What happened to the other $3.08?

Did you ever wonder why folks would claim that it cost more to ship to Alaska and Hawaii? I checked with the post office and you can send a priority package to both STATES for the same cost as sending it across town. Shipping with priority mail does not change with zones or states or even the weather so stop trying to make more money.

Did you ever wonder why shipping 10 comics could cost up to $10 when the post office has a box that has a 70 pound limit for $9.10 priority? I'm sorry but 10 comics do NOT weigh 70 pounds.

Did you ever wonder why sellers charge a handling charge? What do they expect when they sell on eBay? You get the free material from the post office, put the item in the box, take it to the post office and then you are done. Why should the bidder pay you $3 or $4 dollars extra to do this? You put it on eBay! You should know that you have to ship it.

Did you ever wonder why a seller would state that the payment must arrive within 3 days but he is not responsible for transit time when shipping? In other words show me the money quickly and when I get around to it I will send you the item.

Did you ever wonder why some folks use the term "rare" when there is 6 or 7 of the same item on the same page?

Did you ever wonder why someone starts the description with "Would be near mint except..." If there is an except then it is not near mint. "Would be near mint if you did'nt run over it with a truck!" Come On! Either grade it accurately or say you don't have any idea and let the buyer decide what it is worth,

Did you ever wonder why someone would have "Private Feedback" and not think that others wondered what they were hiding? I will not buy or sell to someone that is not brave enough to let me see what others think of the service they received.

As a buyer on eBay (and I love it by the way) I often ask myself what the seller was thinking when they designed their ad (that is what it is,  an advertisement!)

This is my space to rant and I will try to update it with the silly things that I see on eBay from day to day. Thanks for reading!
