Sellers should keep an image of that person in mind when packaging things for shipment. If they did, far fewer items would arrive damaged.

These are excellent. So many hit home!

One that really peeves me is people who secure a top loader to the inner surface of the shipping envelope so that you have to cut the envelope open on three sides to extract the card without risking it.

I got a card in from the U.K. the other day. Card was fine, but I needed a literal scalpel to get the card out of the top loader-ish plastic it was in, it was covered in so much heavy duty tape.

Buyers who ask for healthy discounts because they have to pay to have the item authenticated and shipped to the TPA. So, you expect me to foot all these costs?! It's your choice to have the material authenticated, not mine. I know what I'm selling is genuine and don't require a TPA to say it is. (In most cases, the material in question doesn't magically become worth more just because of the slab it's in or the sticker that's slapped on it.)

The market, in general, disagrees with this statement.

The "magic" can be quite dark and evil, though, in my opinion.

An issue for modern items but an ebay PITA for me ....

Title/Description: "blah blah blah BRAND NEW!!! SEE PICTURES!!!"

Pictures: Ding here, ding there, tear here, ripped there
