Chiselers on eBay. Like you can't come up another $10 or so bucks? I'm already selling it less than what I paid for it and it's in pristine condition. So insulting.

"Chiselers" perfect!

When I've sold on here in the past I've been relieved if their offer was only $10 less than my asking price and I really wanted to make a sale. Although, yeah, at the same time I thought ''why even ask for $10 off? Does that really help you so much?''

People say that sellers shouldn't ask for paypal fees as extra and they should instead work it into their price. So I do that. But what difference does it make when people still expect you to drop your asking price for them.
For example, lets say I want to end up with a clean 200 in my paypal account so I price at 210 to account for the paypal fees. Doesn't matter. Buyer wants $10 off anyway because he only wants to spend a clean 200.

While were on the subject. Some prick just offered me a 1/3 of what I was asking for on one thing I'm selling. Yeah, let me jump on that...

Those are usually the same guys that raise a stink when you don't reply.

Am I nuts? If I'm looking for something on ebay I don't send an offer unless there is actually a 'make an offer' option for the listing. I buy it straight up or I move on.

I currently have 2 loose DC 6" figures on Ebay along with some other junk I just want out of the closet. They are listed at $13 each, shipping included.

Message: How many of these do you have? I'll buy right now.
Me: Just the two listed.
Message: Will you take $10 each?
Me: Sorry, price is firm.
Message: $11??????
I don't respond.
Message: Offer is good until tomorrow.


I love when they play hardball.

Another favorite on SSF are the guys who break down what your Ebay costs would be to justify what a huge favor they are doing you.

If I got a nickel (heck, we all should who sell), for every time lately that has happened to me. And to touch on what Snake said, it's almost comical in a sense.

 

[YoNoSe]

I don't begrudge someone taking a shot. If someone is motivated to sell, they may take you up on it. But the attitude is funny.

Sort of related, but not really a "hate" is items listed as "taking offers." I immediately lose interest when I read that.

 

[Sikatar]

Exactly, it's to be expected (people taking a shot in the dark on getting a lower price) and I can definitely agree on the attitude being funny. Your post (a few above) in regards to the Ebay auction where you had someone asking "will you take x amount", had me laughing (your hardball comment was great). I have never sold on Ebay and I can't even imagine the stories you or others must have as sellers.

That's annoying. Tell them you're not running a charity.

Anyone who works in my office and has to wear their sunglasses when they come in to work and don't take them off until they're seated at their desk.

I do that everyday. I even put them on inside before I'm ready to leave.
