1. Spamming. This is done to seek attention-

for example i have a cheap top from target which i want people to notice.

Heres an example of spamming

JUICY black top, so SASS! BIDE now! u'll LIVE in it. CUE it now!

ok. Annoying isnt it. This ugly black target top now has the ability to pop up in pretty much every nice brand name. (unfair!)

Heres how i did it

Juicy- juicy couture

Sass- sass & bide

bide- also from sass & bide (it is the most commonly searched brand on eBay)

Live- live (the shop)

Cue (the brand)

2. Make their starting prices realllly low (eg.99cents) but then make their postage ridiculously high to attract more people.

3. Ways of payement. A seller should ALWAYS have bank deposit express (not just paypal etc) Its annoying when your inlove with something but cant pay for it due to the limited amounts of paying methods.

4. Not enough Pictures or blurry bad quality ones. Theres nothing worse then not seeing what your trying to buy.

5. Liars.. an item that is USED does not mean BNWOT (brand new without tags)!!

Also people that sell fakes should say that the item is not authentic! Its unfair to bid high on something that probably cost a couple of dollars from Bali.

6. Sellers who dont communicate

7. SLOW POSTAGE. Sellers should mail as soon as they can.

8. Sellers that steal other peoples photos. COPYRIGHT!! get your own photos please. Its unfair to those who spend time and money on models etc.

9. Sellers that dont allow newbies to purchase, eg. You must have three points or more to be allowed to bid here. Yes they have a point. But the vast majority of us know how to work a computer and pay for things.

10. Selling prohibited items. Eg. second hand underwear and bathers. not only gross.. but very gross

Please dont do the above.:)
