What grinds your gears on forums

Another one that gets me annoyed. Finding the exact thing you were looking so you know what the price to buy or sell it at, or go back and remember the specs or package you bought. OP edits the post and writes "Sold"

When I want to browse preowned pews I know I don’t need but the website says “Something went wrong. Please try again.” ?

People who post or pm questions about your sales thread than you answer then they just vanish.  Or even worse say they'll` take it then you never hear from them again.  It just plain bad manners.

People selling who've neglected to read the Paypal T&C's, where it explicitly says the seller is responsible for the fees, and trying to pass that on to the Buyer.

 

Seriously, it takes half a second to calculate it and factor it in to your costs.

As a buyer I always offer to cover the fee's if I make a lower offer, 9 times out of 10 it works, have never had anyone offer it in return but then I had someone send me the money for a pistol I sold recently via F&F which took my by surprise I must admit, I put it on a quicker postal service in return so we both benefitted from it.

 

Fee's do get expensive above £200 so I can understand why sellers try to put it on the buyer but like you say, 10 seconds on Google gives you the fee total and can adjust price accordingly.

The best part of that is the way the poster managed to spell it correctly in the description but not the title or specs

What grinds my gears as of today are the googleish adverts that I used to be able to ignore.

What annoys me is some folks prices on second hand/unknown goods.

Current pet peeve: listings with multiple items in the title and picture. They reupload them after a week, and don't edit the pic to cross out items already gone. (Or don't change the title to remove the ones that are gone!)

 

So you click on it thinking it's interesting, see the only good parts are sold and it's the scraps left over.

Messaging sellers who respond to questions quickly but as soon as you mention buying with PayPal they ghost you ?

[AK47frizzle]

Whenever I see this (made by yours truly):

Art. I have stolen it to send to the homies.

[Cannonfodder]

The way some sellers overhype their adverts with bullshit like "take your game to the next level" or "own the field".

 

It actually puts me off buying from them

Funnily enough there's a sales listing for a KWA MP7 now saying basically that ?

I was actually looking at a KWA MP9 earlier, but this has really piqued my interest in it. How can i say no to it now?

What gets me is when you see an item of clothing, something you've been after for a while, so you excitedly click on it only to find its a size small, or even a medium, my sons built like a stick insect & he takes a large ffs, where's all the proper man size ? stuff.

As a big boy that suffers these struggles I highly recommended Emerson gear stuff, I finally got my long awaited tiger stripe gear from socom and couldn't be happier with it TBH. Fits nice and has lots of room and adjustable straps. Would go for a size up on the top though just for that extra comfort as the main body of the shirt shows every lump and bump ?
