Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN?


Does this bother anybody else? It sure does bother me. Why aren't these people using AudiogoN's fantastic auctioning system instead of badgering us with Ebay auctions? I understand seeking more bidders where they roam, but I for one am tired of reading "Up for auction at Ebay...". Am I just being a righteous goon? I have a very thick hide, so stab away if you feel so inclined.

Creeper, as I said, it's a pet peeve so don't get too worried about it. I consider the "sale pending" thing an eye sore and waste of space and for some odd reason it gets under my skin. How many time do you post something for sale, a guy commits to it, and then you don't receive payment? Pretty much never happens and I've sold dozens of things. So you leave it "sale pending" until you receive payment cuz it's easier than recreating an ad and reposting it just in case the guy doesn't pay you. Strikes me as lazy and penny-pinching. If the buyer doesn't follow through, re-list the item, it only costs $2. Toldya it's a pet peeve and like so many little quirks, they probably don't mean a whole lot but for some reason bug ya.
I sell albums here on A-gon, but sometimes list a few of the rarer ones on e-bay. I frequently let people know what I have listed on e-bay (it's all in the text in the ad--so typically 80% of the albums are exclusive to A-gon and 20% or on e-bay). I was just trying to be informative and let A-goners know what I was selling and where they could find it. Certainly wasn't trying to annoy anyone.
Jeffloistarca, I understand your point. It's a pet peeve, just the way Ebay references bug me. Good point about never having a deal fall through. I've never had one spoil. I wouldn't consider myself a penny-pincher, seeing how I drop almost all my expendable income into this wonderful sport, but I am indeed very lazy. A little paronoid too (what?). Perhaps I should have called this thread "AudiogoN pet peeves".
I have a pet peeve about posts that are pet peeves. I learn nothing from them.
