Why's content buying such a FRUSTRATING experience?

...every time I go looking for new content all I get is frustrated!
If it would be an easy and pleasurable task I probably would spend much more money... By now I have wasted over 2 hours looking for just one decent new set, lost all the impetus, and haven't spend a Dime!

Some sites you simply can't buy from at all due to ongoing CC merchant problems (eg. Paul Markham, but also some others who only accept MasterCard and JBL, both of which I don't have), some sites are terrible to navigate (eg. Adult Content Zone - click "Preview" and the main page jumps back up to the top so you lose focus of where you've been up to), others show you small over-compressed images as previews (smaller than I would publish on any tgp gallery) or tiny thumbnails where I (who needs reading glasses) can't see a thing (certainly not if there's a cum shot included), or you get 'broken image links' (no preview at all) or ... So the list goes on!

Hence here my list of what I expect of a decent content store:
· content sorted by category (and single models within category by features, eg. 'Toy', 'Blonde', 'Tiny Tits', 'Hairy Pussy', etc.)
· clear thumbnails of all pictures in a set (minimum 160 pixels long side, better 240 pixels)
· two or three un-compressed previews which actually show at least in one the face and upper body of the model(s) - I don't like to buy a Dildo series for a nice pussy when the girl shows a terrible facial expression all thru the series!
· I prefer to find the date of first publication so I don't buy what's two years old (actually: I have found a few sets which I would have bought would I know that they're relatively new).
· I also want to know if you're the second or third business publishing the same stuff (notice to JACT and ACC!) - I get pissed off and very suspicious if I find sets labbeled as 'new' which I know for ages or even have bought some two years ago.
· fast loading and easy to navigate! Bugger all the fancy Flash and graphics! You're not there to win a web design competition - you're there to get me quickly to where I want to spend my money!
· Don't favor pay site owners too heavily with the same packages!
Either have two lines of merchandise (one for tgp people and free sites, another one with some exclusive images/clips for paysites), or don't bug us little people with deals like "50% off if you spend 5 grand"... It'll help paysites retaining members if at least parts of their content can't be found on free galleries, and it helps us gallery people if we can advertise sites with exclusive content...

o.k. - steam's out - enough
