Question What makes you hit the back button?

What makes you hit the back button when you look at an auction?

Is it the odd photos?

Is it the lack of photos?

The weird descripton?

Where they took the photo?

Lies, like "Excellent condition" when the lining looks like the bag has been used to tote manure.

I hate crappy pictures that are: small, blurry, or just like 3 pictures!!!

If I am going to pay $300.00+ for a bag, I want NICE photos!

I hate when the pictures are crappy, the description states wrong info, and most importantly when the TITLE says "looks like" or says missoni or something and I click on it and then it says "missoni inspired" UUGGHH I hate that more than anything! and last... when the shipping is ridiculous!

I think that it's the pictures. If the pics are blurry, not enough of them, or even where the pics are taken. I tend to lean toward pics that are taken in someone's home versus trying to make the pics look like they were taken in a studio for a magazine. Especially if the person showing the handbags are wearing gloves...Big, Big turn off for me. Then there is the description. If the persons says that it's authentic, excellent condition, rarely used and it's not and the bag looks like it's been run over by a car or trampled on. Or the lack of description for that matter will definitely make me hit the back button.

Stock photos definitely make me hit the back button. It's no good if I can't see what I'm actually buying.

Stock photos, lack of pictures & a low rating or bad feedback.

Ever click on an auction that says it's for something you're looking for (e.g. like a handbag) and it turns out to be a fake auction that is really there to advertise porn? Yep... had that happen to me. ::shudder::

Yeah, you just get an unexpected flash of boobies when you were expecting to see something legit to buy. I don't if it happens as much anymore. For awhile though, they had some serious problems with ebay hijackers.

Crappy and too few pics. Strock pic. Lack of details in description, low percentage of positive feedback, too few feedback.

When the description is lacking and the seller doesn't seem to know what they're talking about .

The first thing I always look at is the rating. If they have under 300 or have been a member for less than a year, I pass on to the next. Then I look to see if they've sold designer items in the past. Also if they have only stock photos or just basically cut and paste the description from a blog ( ) then I hit the back button.

The rating of the customer, I mean if they can't get good ratings, why should I buy?
Also limited/bad quality pictures.

I'd say the thing that makes me hit the back button when it's to over produced. When people don't know what they are selling you get a better deal!
