The other thing I can't stand is when some people put stuff like "Sega Dreamcast with 4 FOUR games!!!" when in reality theyre just selling the system with Shenmue which is 4 discs.

Once I saw an item description that said "Sega Saturn with four games" while the picture had the Saturn and four Genesis games.

Fake games annoy me. I picked up a couple fake Pokemon games without really thinking. Sent them back for a refund.
Emulator/ROM packs really irritate me.
I think stock photos are definitely the worst though. I mean anyone could look up the boxart to a game. They might as well not even post a picture.

Also when people have it as an auction, but with a BuyItNow for about 50p over the minimum bid.

EDIT: Oh, and "L@@K! L@@K!"

I hate when im winning an item and ive been winning for the past 4 days, and the item has like only 10 or so views, then at the last few seconds you get snipped. it has happen to me countless times.

Forgetting to bid on something I want only to go back and find that someother git got for a pence, poorly described items, fake games, majesco sega games/pads not being labelled as such, every game and console is rare and so on and so.

I sold a couple of things about a year ago, one of them was a pile of Saturn magazines and disks. It was bought from some french guy, who also bought some players guides I was selling and moaned like hell about the postage costs. He wanted me to give him discount and cover the costs myself. The cheeky swine. He was having 4kg (or ~9lb if you like) of paper shipped across the channel, what was it going to cost, 50p?

Or when they describe the game in great condition with manual+case, and then you realize they cut the barcode out of the back of the Saturn game you just paid $25 for.
