Pain in the ass bidder week

I think i have a full bingo card of all of my pet peeves when it comes to pain in the ass bidders this week-

Can you commit a federal crime and mark the customs form as Gift? I want you to risk jail time because I don't want to pay a few extra bucks for import duties.

It doesn't go to my registered address, it goes to a completely different province. I moved last July.

I have a zero feedback rating and barely understand how eBay works but that won't stop me from also being a demanding a-hole

I want free shipping to Australia even though I agreed to the auction terms before hand and won on a best offer 33% less than the asking price.

Wait, is it a Large? Because I wear a XSMALL.

Wait, it's not new even though it says vintage about a million times in the listing and you listed every single flaw in the description?

I plan on disappearing after I won the auction even though I asked a million questions beforehand.

Can you get it to my house in another country 3000 miles away by Friday? I don't want to pay more for shipping, though. If it gets held up in customs, i don't want it.

:evil:

Nope....not bingo unless you have, "WHERE IS MY ITEM? YOU BETTER TELL ME OR I WILL GIVE YOU NEGATIVE FEEDBACK!!"

When the person only paid for it two days prior....and took a week to pay for it. That was a common one for me.

Freedom 35 baby.

Another brilliant one today:

What size in inches were the letters on the jacket you sent me three days ago?- Let me fire up the DeLorean and go back and time to measure them for you.......

I love this post. It sums up about every bad thing about ebay that I've ever dealt with. There are a lot of great buyers out there but some just make you wonder about the human race.

Now that I've won the auction for your item....I'm ready to negotiate the shipping charge.

"I want free shipping to Australia even though I agreed to the auction terms before hand and won on a best offer 33% less than the asking price."

This turned into a non paying bidder of course

The guy asking for the jacket measurements "hasn't received it yet"
