Isn't that YOUR repsonsibility/problem??
You expected the cossie to be new?
Why did you not view/inspect the car before purchase? That way these things won't happen
Most negative stuff on e-Bay is the buyers own bloomin' stupidity or fault
I have sold stuff in the past and buyers have NOT bothered to read the information given in said advert
Haven't had a problem with buying as such, just one niggly thing that could've been sorted but the seller couldn't be aRSed and I still have his address for a visit should I ever be in the area
Think about what you're doing on e-Bay, don't expect everything to be new, read descriptions, have an IQ higher than 5 and you'll be ok
