Hobby terms that annoy you

Paypal FF annoys me too. You want to make a sale, do it ethically. Don't cheat the facilitator out of its fees and don't ask me to be party to it.

There sure seem to be a lot of "Holy Grail"s out there as well.

I don't like the nautical equivalent either... white whale.

A long, confusing, and convoluted auction lot description which discusses everything except the actual flaws on the card.

LOL..Don't cheat the facilitator that requires that you use their other company to pay for items so they can charge you fees twice.

As compared to the problems I had in the wild west days of eBay with payment via check and MO--fake cards, non-conforming goods, cards that were never shipped--I am just fine with handing a bit over for a service that provides accountability. It only takes one fake OJ or non-shipped vintage photo (both events I was 'lucky' enough to be on the buying end of) on eBay to equal all the paypal fees.

If you're buying from reputable sellers (i.e. those with overwhelmingly positive feedback), I'd say the chances of fake cards, non-conforming goods, cards that were never shipped...is pretty low. Me personally, I'd rather not be charged a fee to pay for an item I've already been charged a fee on.
