Speaking of tape, I hate it when I receive a card in an envelope that has been completely covered in tape. It may seem like it would be a good idea when it is raining for days, but man is it a pain to get the envelope open when there is no opening for a knife or letter opener.
I also hate to see every listing for prewar cards on ebay with the word rare in the description. It isn't rare when there are 3-10 more copies of the card available, especially if you are selling the other 3-10 copies.
As far as shipping goes if the seller doesn't combine shipping, I will buy one card unless the shipping is a dollar or less. When I finished my T87 set one seller had 7 of the last 8 cards I needed but didn't combine shipping at $3 each on $1 cards. Another seller had 7 cards I needed and did combine shipping. Guess who got the money.
I also hate that ebay taxes shipping and doesn't give out ebay bonus bucks for shipping that they tax you for. Which is why when bonus bucks are available, I try to buy something with free shipping to increase the bonus bucks I earn, which usually only become available after I buy something expensive.
