    I have a few peeves of my own (listed in no particular order)

    1. Sellers who don't leave you feedback.
    I mean it, when I make a purchase and take the time to wait for the item, and take the time to leave them feedback, why can't they do the same? It's a common courtesy that some people just seem to ignore

    2. Gang scans.
    As was already stated above about Gang Scans, I agree with it. I hate em. If I wanted to see all 9 cards I would have searched for all 9 cards. I don't need to see all those, because when a seller uses gang scans, each card is quite small.

    3. No scans.
    I understand that osme people don't have a scanner or a digital camera, but when you're selling osmething, you need to put a picture of it.

    4. No / Very Little Description
    I hate when sellers don't describe the card. What I really hate is when they just use the line "Your bidding on the card in the title." and leave it at that. As a seller, you need to describe the card so people can really know what they're getting

    5. Generic Scan
    Using a scna of one card from a set of 800 to represent each and evey card of the set is ridiculous.

    6. No Communication
    Ask the seller a question and get ignored. I hate that.

    7. Impaitent sellers
    Sellers who complain if the money isn't there mere days after the auction is won.

    8. Not accepting money orders
    Not all of us have paypal!!!! Sellers who are smart, would accept a money order to increase their business potential by not driving away customers with "Paypal Only"

    I can't stand the "Ex Girlfriends lot of cards" and have a picture of a hot chic as the main image. :)

    Here is one.

    Seriously? Have we come to this?

    oh and sellers that don´t ship worldwide. I mean, if i´m paying the extra costs, whats the difference?


    No offense to you...but, even if you cover the difference in shipping...shipping outside of the US pretty much gives you free will to take my cards and run. Paypal will not listen to you if you don't have a tracking number. You gotta pay 15-20 to ship internationally AND get a tracking number (Usually gotta do FedEx or UPS).

    I've shipped outside the US 6 times (on eBay...I've had good luck here on SCF. Ive sent a few cards outside the US w/ just basic shipping and never had any problems)...and I've gotten screwed 5 of those times.

    I'm guilty of this. While I hate paypal with the passion of a thousand burning suns...It's the only "worthy" game in town. I HATE waiting for money orders that may never show up. A guy can only blow you off for so long on the internet, it only takes a second to pay with paypal. However...you can really drag it out if you're waiting for a payment via USPS. When selling electronics...it doesn't make a difference whether or not you take money orders...there's a big market for them. Cards, however, have a MUCH smaller market...I really should re-evaluate my stance.

    Don't even get me started on the grammar and spelling in auctions...

    On my last purchase the seller sent me all kinds of messages like "thnk u 4 ur purchas3 & gr8 tr4nsaction."

    Its not IM, your doing business.

    Buyers who dont leave feedback too. I leave feedback no matter what, as soon as I recieve payment. Lately, I rarely have been getting any feedback from buyers. With the 'Impatient seller' thing, if payment is accepted only through Paypal, there is no reason it shouldnt be to the seller within 24 hours or so, in my opinon. Especially if you place a last minute bid. As a seller, I cant stand buyers who bid at the last minute but wont send the Paypal until days later. MO's would be a different story though I guess.


    I also cant stand buying a card and recieving it with dinged corners or creases especially when it stated to be in mint condition. If you're calling it mint, it better be pretty much perfect.
