.....know what grinds my gears? When someone is selling something, and you contact them, ready to send a m.o. THE NEXT DAY....and all the sudden "it's pending".....
Let me get this straight. Someone is THINKING about buying it , at SOME point, so it's being held back from being sold....? Try THAT at a store.... "Hey, can you hold this figure for me? I MIGHT buy it but I'm not sure.Keep it behind the counter, but let everyone see it. And if someone waves money in front of you, tell them to wait to see if I don't want it." It's happened to me a few times in just a couple weeks. It's ONE thing to write "pending" next to it in yer b.s.t.list...( which is bad enough,but I get that) it's quite ANOTHER to wait for someone to offer money then return a p.m. saying it's pending..... END RANT. lol....

Actually, most stores will do this. I've called stores frequently to check stock on a figure/vehicle and if it's in stock they will hold it for usually up to 24 hours.

Funny how you mentioned wanting to use a money order but complain about "pending". That is the usual reason for pending. Someone is planning on buying but they have to send an MO. This is the reason I don't take them anymore. The person that says they will send a MO will be the same one that takes forever to do it or just never sends. In the mean time, I lose other potential buyers as they find the item somewhere else. PayPal now or nothing.

what burns my ass is when people fail to read the "payment due with x amount of days". deadline passes, not communication, second invoice and no response. The you message them and try to work with them and they give ya an attitude. Im willing to work with people on ebay sales because I understand things happen but not communicating the issue just gets on my nerves to no end. I have had people back out of deals but at least they notified me very soon or even before the auction ends.

As someone else mentioned, I've also had stores hold stuff for me. I go to the service desk and they ask my name and it's sitting right there behind the counter. I don't know how long they hold for as I am there within a few hours of calling but I can't remember a time when anyone refused to do it.

I always post pending when an item is in mid sale/trade. For example when a buyer is using a MO or an E-check that hasn't cleared yet. Or if the item is being traded and the other trader has 0 feedback and is sending the item 1st. In which case I give an appropriate amount of time (based on location) for the item to arrive. This lets other buyers know where the item stands so to speak. BASICALLY ITS A COMMON COURTESY FOR ALL Other CUSTOMERS!
