What makes you most suspicious of an eBay auction?

[wazoo]

A big one for a lot of people I know is sellers with no or little feedback. Honest truth, we all started that way on ebay though, and worked our way up.

A very tiny scan so you can't really tell about the condition of the card

I hate the tiny scans! What a waste of an auction listing.

Lack of a back scan, particularly on a raw card or a lower-grade graded card.

"sorry for the poor scan, it doesn't do justice to the quality of the card"

Sellers with high end cards not graded while others of theirs are...

[smtjoy]

An auction with lots of early bidding and then the high bidder has bid 100% with that seller.

"I'm not a professional grader but these cards look sharp/great/fantastic/mint/etc."

Doesn't make me suspicious, just seems very unwarranted, especially if you're putting pics in of the cards. Just once I'd like to see an auction where a guy says, "Why yes, I -am- a professional grader..."

I think all vintage should have a back scan.

How about the:

"So, I'm divorcing my husband after I found out that he was a cheating SOB and now I'm going to sell off his precious baseball card collection. I know nothing about these stupid cards, but he was always bragging about how much they were worth...."

The number of times the seller puts the word "VERY" in front of "RARE" in the description. So far the record I've seen is 10.
