My main thing which I am sure has been covered here is listing an item for a decent price and they charging some crazy over the top shipping. It doesn't cost $10 to ship a single figure. So put what you want into the cost of the item and charge normal shipping.

Searching for months for an item and finally find it...only to be outbid and watch the price skyrocket in the last 10 seconds of the auction.

Non paying bidders is the one that i am having problems with at this time. A bidder puts in a first and only bid 2 days before the auction ends and decides after the auctions end, he wont pay and no contact either. Such time wasters.

I hate it when some idiot seller shows a picture of 30th Steel Brigade version 1 with the description saying "as pictured". Then when you buy it, they shipped out a Steel Brigade version 2. They think you won't be able to tell the difference. If you ship it back for an exchange with version 1, you will have to cover the shipping. The total price of a 30th Steel Brigade version 1 went from about $15 to $20. I ended up keeping like four version 2 because paying for $5 extra wasn't worth it. At that time, I could easily pick up version 2 at BBTS for $7. This really pisses me off.

2008 Gi Joe 25th Anniversary Cobra Arctic Hiss Tank 2 | eBay
THIS shit! When the seller lists an item for some exorbitant amount, but leaves the original price sticker on it showing what THEY paid. It actually came into the store on Thursday. I gave the guy $30.00 for it. Then I listed it this morning on eBay as the lowest priced listing under cutting every other listing currently online. I then added a low shipping cost based on size and weight using the USPS calculator that eBay offers. I also spiced it up with our famous MAKE AN OFFER option. With any luck, I'll make a nice $10.00 - $15-00 profit. If you have anymore questions or concerns please, feel free to contact me directly. As a fellow Gi-Joe collector I'm always willing to go above and beyond to work with the community.

American sellers that only ship to the US.
Yanking up the price on Postage and Packaging to insane amounts - often more then the item itself. |

Amen. They certainly keep rising. Not sure why sellers jack up the shipping costs. They take money from that too now. Always best to charge based on weight.

eBay's policy that allows feedback hostage situations.
blatant abuse of shipping fee's to make profit vs. actual sale of item. of course it's the responsibility of the buyer to figure that out and make the choice but i see this occurring more and more. the dispute process in general. i had a seller take my money, never ship the item. i filed a dispute with eBay and Paypal only to have the seller empty their Paypal, close the eBay account and open under a new name. i documented this whole thing for eBay/paypal and they simply shrugged and walked away. I've also had buyers file a dispute claiming to never have received an item that delivery confirmation proves they did and still get a refund leaving me again with no money and no product. eBay is no less risky than member transactions here as in the end there are really no assurances or safeguards with way to many tricks to get by the system.
