Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | 1) have a genuine interest in the instrument, not be just messing around.
2) do your "homework" and have some knowledge about the brand and model.
3) ask your questions of the buyer prior to committing to buy the instrument.
4) after committing to buy the instrument, pay promptly.
I've sold three guitars and a mandolin on eBay; these work for me.

Location: Upper Left USA | I think Roger nailed it for me. As a Seller I try to be very attentive. Little frustrates me more than poor communication. |

Location: SE Michigan | Read the freakin posting. I have people email me all the time asking questions that I already answered in the auction text.
That and pay promptly. I ALWAYS ship the item the same day or the next day after recieving payment. It just drives me crazy when someone wins an auction and then can't pay me for a week. |

Amazing. The hidden talents of that man...
Back on the off-topic. I try to be a good customer by treating the transaction as if someone was giving me their money, not the other way around.
More often than not, I'm paying for something I can't do/make for myself so someone's doing me a favour. Just how I appraoch things.
