I find it annoying when instead of spending a bit of time on a
proper condition report, the seller wastes a lot of time on giving
the plot of the movie.

I hate when they say that the poster looks worse in their digital
image than it does in person. How come they never say it looks
BETTER in their digital image than it does in person?
For that matter I can't count the number of times that an eBay
image of something I purchased just "happened" to obscure or leave
out some important part of the poster (like their "scanner" can't
fit the entire image, so they leave out the tattered bottom
border, etc).

Most listings that come to mind are reasonably clear and for
someone like myself who searches daily, they allow me to peruse
quickly for what I am seeking.
Naturally we all have pet peeves such as the lobby cards, Mexican
cards, those unusually long listing from panzeterex (that I avoid
like the plaque) etc. that are listed in the "originals" categories.
I have always found those sellers who use the term "WOW" in their
description to catch your eye for what is normally a mediocre
offering. My question to sellers is-----------------Do you
believe this is effective or actually a term actually saying "This
listing is not worthwhile but I hope this catches your eye to look
at it"?
What is your pet peeve about ebay listings?

What are you talking about?
1. It all is the same as ever as of a few minutes ago.
2. If they do change, all of your listings may be collapsed into one
larger category without your having to change anything. 3. If
they do
change, you can easily and straightforwardly mass edit item
categories
in TurboLister, if that's your preference (as I believe I've noted
here
before, FileExchange is much faster and easier for simple revisions -
category listings would be a snap). Depending on your computer,
you may
want to break 3000 listings into groups of a few hundred or so - but
import/export shouldn't be necessary. Even if you decide to
participate
in the eBay "item specifics," you can multiple item edit those,
too. 4.
Maybe you really don't have anything better to do with your time.

For all the dealers on the board I'm posting this alert that Ebay
apparently has changed some of its category listings. Formerly lobby
card listings needed to be broken out by decades. Now all lobby cards
are going to be posted under one category which to me makes no sense
since posters will continue to be broken out by decades. While this
sounds like no big deal, for those of you who keep a dbase in Ebay's
Turbo lister, it is a big deal because it will mean having to
change all
the listings that are stored. I have 3000+ listings stored. I will
have
to export them to a spread changes and make the change externally and
then reimport them to Turbo as if I have nothing better to do with my
time. Do any of these jokers at Ebay ever consider any of the
ramifications of their constant cosmetic changes? FRANC
