Ebay - Do people actually think?
strapping young lad:
i recently tried to sell a peter kay t-shirt, i had two on ebay at the same time
one was grey one was black.
anyway the buyer bought the grey one, opened the package and kicked off big style saying the colour isnt same as the description and demanded a full refund or he would take things further!
i was checking what the guy was accusing me of and it didnt seem to hold water he was adamant that it was advertised as black but he bought the grey one.
in the end i relented and refunded him, got the shirt back and sold it elsewhere.
anyway i found the guys feedback and hes been at it before...
he had sold a pair of kid's jeans for 1.50 with a buy now of a tenner i think, then the buyer bought it off him but he wouldnt send it until the buyer sent him more cash cos it was worth more than 1.50 :shock:
the bloody cheek! anyway it was settled cos the guy who sold hadnt a leg to stand on.. you cant ask for more money after selling it! my god :evil:

Ebay's a strange strange place...
I buy a lot of stuff there - coz it's a lot easier than traipsing round the shops at the weekend. In over 300 buys I've only had 3 go wrong, and only lost a very small amount of money, but I've only had marginal success selling stuff. Put a CD on, and specified Paypal only because the value it would go for just wasn't worth the hassle of accepting cheques - and yes, the guy who won it didn't have a paypal account.
Then there is the people who pay too much - I was wanting a NATO hitch, and watched them selling on ebay for £80, Paddocks only wanted £50...

Well i do postage for a mate of mine who sells alot of music on Ebay and doesnt have time to do the postage himself. He states quite clearly in his auctions that postage will be within 28 days of recieving cleared payment due to him not actually being in the country for some of the month.
Its amazing how many people after just a few days of paying are asking where their cd is, thankfully he wont let me deal with them or the swearwords used about eyesight would be rather alarming!

I bought a camera with no bids at the last minute for £3 and I had trouble with the seller as she would not sell for the price - it was worth more. She should have had a reserve price if she wanted a minimum for it.
ps she did send it before the week was out :wink:

But that's an eBay fault as you can't put a reserve on for less than £50
I don't like their new idea of hiding bidders name for over £100 sales how do you tell now when a seller is building his auction price up?
