I don't believe that I've been messed about again. This guy won the auction for my Escort cabby at a very knock down bargain price of £450. I was totally honest on the ad:

and now he responds with:

>Re: Message from eBay Member Regarding Item #4594143596i have just asked a mechanic he said the wheel baring could cease up and as its a long way. theres no chance of me getting back home. plus you said the clutch was on its way out. if you didnt live that far away i would of got it. so im very sorry for your inconveniance. but i cant get it,
>good luck selling, sorry.



So I'm now sending him:

I'm sorry mate but you really should have checked this before bidding. The clutch still works and doesn't slip at all, it just feels a little high on the biting point. For all I know it might only want adjusting.

I'm going to be fair here and give you a chance to respond before I take the step of reporting you to ebay and possibly looking at legal action for the breaking of our contract. I will also have no choice but to leave negative feedback.
