BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying?

You made me spill my morning brew.... worth it though!
That chuckle should keep me going through the day
Thank you

Still a valid point Mapman.
Casual visitors who do not know the "quick fix" are likely to be put off browsing very rapidly.
Audiogon REALLY should make the classic view the default not the absurd grid/peeping tom view!
Wonder how much revenue Audiogon have lost since inception?
Lost commission on sales not happening and lost listing fees as more sellers leg it to audiomart and eBay etc.
Food for thought

Celander.
Agreed on first 2 points but not the last.
Ship a pair of large speakers coast to coast, probably200 to 300 dollars.
You want seller to eat that?
No way Jose.
Now maybe compromise but you just cannot offer free shipping ad nauseam.
Sure maybe on smaller items like cables, CD etc but not not heavy items.

And trust me eBay does not operate like that in the realm of audio, 20 years on eBay and hifi sales have not changed much in principle.
I would wager over half the items have shipping charges not free shipping.
And the ones I see with free shipping have usually added some to the base price to help compensate.
There is no free ride....

Just my thoughts.

I look for the lowest priced similar items either on sale or sold and make sure I price a few dollars less AND accept offers on listing.
Quote a fair shipping price even if you may lose a few dollars if you end up shipping coast to coast, it usually evens out over the years.
Do NOT ask buyer to pay ANY fees of any kind, this will assuredly put them off and have them looking at other ads.
Make sure some halfway decent pictures if possible.
Above all be courteous in all communications even if you privately are thinking what a jerk!
You never know , that "jerk" might be a rich one....lol.
