Why do some people on this forum always seem to be bashing and complaining about ebay auctions?
Do they just like to be heard or do they really have legitimate complaints?
Seems like the most complained about item is shipping costs. I know that if I personally don't like something about an auction, I just move on.
Then there are the ones that complain about only having pictures of on side of the coin. Again, I just move on.
Then there is the complaint of bad pictures. Hey people, have you really looked at and complained about some of the horrible pics that come up on this very forum? Hey, I understand that a lot of them are from people just learning the ropes! Did you ever stop to think that could very well be the case on ebay auctions also?
Ah, yes, stock photos! Another reason to pass on the auction.
Possible AT on coins. Another reason to pass.
Overgraded coins. Another reason to pass.
Yes, these all seem to be legitimate complaints with easily rectified solutions. Just pass and move on instead of boring people with the same complaints on a daily basis. It really does get old!
This forum could be a nice place to visit if some people would get off of the ebay thing and post something interesting!

Because sometimes it's funny, even if it is only to the person who posted

Both

Most do as well but commenting on things is human nature. Same as complaining.

Of course, but not everyone cares. And sometimes the sellers have reputations.
What you're complaining about has been mentioned here since the days I first joined in. It's just part of the forum culture. And I don't see it changing any time soon.
Some auctions are funny, ridiculous or just plain insane & I like to share them with the people here.
Some auctions/sellers are rip-offs & everyone should know about it.
And don't say people know a rip-off when they see it. If that were true we wouldn't have the term "Bidiots."
Plus this forum has been linked numerous times to the eBay forums, so a lot of buyers/sellers come here & learn about good & bad auctions, sellers & coins.
