What's the most re-occurring topic or question post you've seen on these boards? Different sellers bringing it up at different times over and over?

"CLASS ACTION! CLASS ACTION! CLASS ACTION!"

My own personal favorite is

"I don't accept returns, but eBay went and refunded the buyer with my money anyway!"

This is followed by an unpleasant learning experience on the difference in meaning between "No Returns" and "No Refunds."

Why is paypal holding my money? Why can't Iist more items?

Finding enough time to process all the orders! Despite what you see on these discussion boards, not all sellers are in the dumps, just the ones often who complain here.

List more, sell more. Goodwill that other, uh, stuff.

Feeling sleepy? There's an app for that.

I like this answer, because I'm sure it's true.

eBay needs to warn us before we go below standard

I don't know why I'm banned

My authentic item got pulled (turns out it's fake)

Can I sell a fake if I don't mention brand name?

It's not my fault I cancelled because I didn't like my buyers and now I'm below standard.

ONE bad buyer ruined my account and got me banned.

Here are the ones I can recall off the top of my head:

Sales are down
How do I prevent fraud?
Why can't I leave negatives for buyers?
Ebay is hiding my listings (... but we search and find them)
My items are the cheapest, why don't they sell? (... but we search and they are not cheap)
Buyers won't leave feedback
A buyer wanted a return but I do not accept returns
Please help me write a strongly worded followup to a negative
Where did seller protection go? (... and cites 'protections' that never existed)
eBay stock is cratering
Sellers are leaving eBay in droves
eBay will soon go out of business
eBay's profits are dropping sharply
eBay started giving free listing promos to boost their numbers
eBay stopped giving free listing promos to boost their numbers
I am quitting eBay

Great list, Lucky!

Another GREAT post on this!!!!

Then there's, But I did the right thing! I gave the buyer a refund when I didn't have the item. Why is Ebay punishing me for doing the right thing?

Followed by, But I didn't know! It's not fair!

BEEN SELLING NINETEEN YEARS AND GOT MY FIRST NEGATIVE TODAY!

No, it wasn't your first by any means.

Better than fast cells, they can be explosive

Also, from the deeply oblivious:

Can I sell my reproduction (they never say "counterfeit") item if I state clearly that it is not authentic?

eBay pulled my (Chanel, Tiffany, Coach, etc.) item even though I never claimed it was authentic.

I know this item is authentic because my aunt gave it to me for my birthday.

I'm SO MAD! BUYER ASKED FOR DIFFERENT ADDRESS!!

ok so I thought it was my buyer but it was some random account and I didn't bother to check who really won so I shipped to the other address and the buyer filed a case and eBay should pay me back because it's not my fault that I didn't check the auction to see who won and it's totally eBay's fault because they should have called me and told me about scams and I want a refund!!!!!!!
