The 1 Thing I Both Love and Hate on eBay

[FiddlePhan]

I'm always heartbroken if I find an item well priced that I'm looking for but they refuse to ship out of the US.  I don't care if I have to pay duty and it takes eons to get here, just let me please, pretty please buy it.

Totally agrees!!!
And even if it's a little overpriced, I'll pay just to have it!!  I don't care about taking a lot of time, but just let me buy it.

Can I include other internet selling sites?

What gets on my nerves:
Crazy sellers selling their ponies (a bunch of 28, only 1 G1, 3 G3s, and the rest a bunch of fakies or McDonald's, at almost $70.00 without shipping ($10 more)... and at first they were asking $80 ).

What I love:
Uninformed sellers with great ponies super cheap =D  Sometimes even including really HTF and at BIN =3

"Lots" of only one pony-makes searching for lots more time consuming

"I'm not a collector so I can't describe what's wrong with it". Um, you could, you know, LOOK AT THE DAMN PONY.

^ yeah!

Calling them improper names like "pink horse with color hair" (So we cant find them! They should know ponies are usually pastel with color hair!)

I actually really like this, because of this I've gotten a good number of nice, harder to find ponies for a good price, because they slip under the radar.

UGH! YES! This makes me soooooo angry!

Like: Lots of variety--you can generally count on finding what you want if you look long enough.

Dislike:  So many things really, but the biggest lately is ridiculously overpriced items that the sellers relist over and over again, seemingly oblivious to the fact that no one is interested in their $30 Peachy.  Also non-MLP items that come up in the MLP listing, e.g., Keypers and other 80s niche items.  Arrrghh.

Ditto, I hate finding other things that aren't even MLP related too. Just because they're from the 80's it doesn't mean they're MLP. I hate getting a whole page full of one seller who lists 15 different Keypers items as MLP. I would type in "Keypers" if I was looking for Keypers!

Ebay and I have a love/hate relationship too.  But no matter what you are looking for, it is always there.

This pretty sums it up for me as well...

I love the fact that 80% of my collection wouldnt be with me without ebay...and if I am honest I probably wouldnt have got into serious collecting without it...

I dislike its current rules for sellers - it is making selling ponies through it very difficult with its silly and overbearing rules!

"Good condition."  Can you be more specific, please? 

Exactly!

You know what I hate??  Being the only bidder for like *6 days* on a lot only to get sniped in the last 2 seconds.  That really, really sucks.  I am so upset right now.

[ponylady]

I hear ya Michelle, it happens to me all to often 
 
Then I go in panic mode and have to go buy something, anything, it don't even have to be pony related!

[michelle53]

Haha Ponylady, I am the same way!  Seriously, someone sell me a pony:)

[mlpfan]

i hate it when i buy something on ebay and the seller never marks it as shipped! the days pass and i have to email them to ask if they have shipped my package!

[TwistedWindSox]

Calling G3 ponies "vintage." Ran across that a lot today.

This this this!
And I hate when you try to politely inform someone that they're not vintage/G1 and they outright tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about or say you are trying to scam them! Ugh!
