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.
