Can people not just let you know what they are doing 
One guy hasn't contacted since winning so I opened a dispute. I then got a mail saying 'despite several requests for an address for postage of payment i
have yet to recieve one', which is BS because I would have received them in the Ebay inbox if not by email. So I replied and asked how they wanted to pay - no reply.
Another has been badgering me for delivery so I asked him to let me know by the end of today (last day of 3-5 days parcel quote) - no email.
Another has mailed and said I've sent the wrong thing so I asked them to phone me because I'm unclear how that might have happened - no call.
Noobs.

Don't get me started, I waited 2 months for some indicator bulbs (silver ones, hard to get in shops) countless emails were sent and the guy kept saying "he will get on to it" and "yes they are sent" never sent them so gave him a negative feedback, then the cheek of his reply was "why didn't you contact us"

I'm finding ebay more and more annoying nowadays due to ebay itself.
1) When listing DVDs postage has to be free. Why?
2) Ebay have removed several of my listings for copyright violations. I merely copied a list of channels accessable with a freesat card from the sky website.
3) Ebay removing listing because it had "as new" in the title. I clearly explained in the description it was used but in as new condition.
4) Not being able to leave bad feedback for buyers?!
5) The ever increasing fees!
To be honest its harder to find a bargain on there these days, Few years back there were bargains galore. Good for selling though as people seem to end up paying more that they would by shopping around online sometimes as they assume because an item is on ebay its a bargain!

Seems to be a mixture between stupid sellers, who are too thick to even spell the name of their items correctly, and stupid buyers who are too thick to look up the price of an item in a shop before bidding.
I use it occassionally, but only really buy from powersellers offering something that it far more expensive anywhere else (genuine VW armrest for instance)

im sick of people hounding you every 30mins asking if you have sent an item! Patience ffs.
If they pay for it at 9am, they email at 10am asking if i have sent it. Just plain rude if you ask me.

It's shocking that they can charge you to list the item, charge you when it sells, then charge you again when you're paid with paypal, then charge you again when you want to transfer the money into your account. (if it's less than £50)
Then to top it off, if you didnt send it recorded delivery all the buyer has to do is pretend they havnt recieved the item and paypal\ebay will give them a refund and leave you in the debt!
It's a fucking joke.
