Ever see something on E-bay like, say, 4,000 times when browsing? The same damned thing is every category (regardless of it's relevance), posted 500 times, multiple sellers, and no one ever bids. This is my most annoying item of the day:

There are better ones just like that though. I love the "My grandma just died and I found all these cards!."

The ones for every Atari game manual on a CDs, every Intellivision overlay on a CD and the eight freaking million game tool kit auctions out there annoy the piss out of me because they come up in every search I do. Not to menation that the manual and overlay ones are questionable leagally.

I HATE these damn baseball card ones. I see them wherever I go on eBay and it pisses me off. There in the wrong category, all over eBay, and the reason it pisses me off it because they get away with it. I listed ONE auction in the wrong category once, and I had about 25 other auctions going, and since I had one in the wrong category eBay cancelled all of them! ALL OF THEM! They sent me some shitty excuse about it too and didn't follow up when I started asking questions.
Then I had to take the time to list them all again, take pictures again, and what is the worst part is that some of them had some bids on them I doubt I'd ever see again! Stuff going for double the normal eBay price!
:angry: eBay - I hate you, yet I love you soooooo much!

A couple years ago when I was on Holiday in Australia I called home to my folks back in the UK and they informed me that a "rather heavy box of baseball cards" had arrived and enquired if I'd bought them on eBay. Thing is by this point I'd been in Oz for 6 months and not used my eBay account at all (I didn't use it for over 14 months) I've no idea who mailed then to me or why I still have them as I was never able to trace them back to a sender I wonder if this is how people end up with all these damn cards to sell?
