I bought some Capri lamps from a guy in the USA and after 3 months they hadn't arrived, I was having kittens as they cost a lot of money.

Turns out customs had lost them but I though the guy had scammed me and he been trying to do me a favour.  When they arrived it looked like they'd played rugby with the parcel, it had been 'converted'.

V8MoneyPit:
Had this exact same thing when we were selling a Merc A class a few months ago. We had some guy ring up offering £4k which we turned down. Someone else rang up offering (off eBay which is outside the terms) £3.7k. We told him we'd turned down £4k so wouldn't accept his offer either. Then minutes later we get a woman call offering £3.7k and telling us the car wasn't even worth that amount and we'd be stupid not to accept it. Our reply was... if it's not worth that, why are you offering it? She totally lost it and started ranting at us.

Anyway, after a number of other calls from these two we got them up to £4200 and said we'd think about it and let them know. We decided not to go against eBay rules and left them a message that we wouldn't accept the offer.

Then within a few minutes, we get a bid on the car from a zero feedback member who had only joined that minute! We deleted the bid (had specified no bids from zero members). A couple of minutes later and the bid was repeated. We blocked the bidder. It quietened down until the last minute of the auction and another zero feedback new member won it. Needless to say it was the same people purposely spoiling the auction because we hadn't accepted their off eBay offer  :evil:

Fortunately, the second chance offer was to a geuine nice guy who travelled all the way from Heathrow.

I was selling a Yamaha pw50 kids bike the firstbidder had 0 feedback and turned out to have bid £250 no comunication and no payment .

took two weeks to get my fees back from ebay and he got a non payer strike against him .

Sold the bike through a local shop for £300  :lol: in the end his loss.

I have just sold the old semi hard wheel cover off the disco as it don't fit the big tyres I have on now four weeks and I'm still waiting for payment but the strikes won't be helping . :cry:

Swaped to paypal only now :wink:
