yesterday my mother in laws car sold on ebay to a new member without any feedback for £670
the winning bidder never made contact and after some investigation had provided a false number,address and postcode.(google is great)
i contacted the 2nd highest bidder,£650 and offered him the car but he bought a car last night so i have offered it to the 3rd highest bidder at £445.
no,because of this tit if the 3rd bidder buys it she will lose £205 as we missed the 2nd bidder.we could advertise agin but i cant be bothered,we expected £3-400 for the car so anything over was a bonus.
what i cant understand is why these folk go to the bother of setting up an email account,then an ebay account and then bidding on a car they dont even want then make no contact with folk after winning,even to say no thanks.
as a result i contacted ebay with my findings about the false info and they have been removed from ebay.it may only take 10 minutes to open an ebay account and hotmail account but why?i cant understand why someone would do that?
i buy and sell a lot of things on ebay and from time to time you get knobs bidding on things,you usually spot them a mile off but to sit and bid at the last minute actually going out of your way is crazy.rant over.
