Agree with you totally mate. Iv just recently lost out on £400 on friggin flea bay aswell.
Bought a set of RS 7 Spokes off a bloke, got a couple of emails from him about the delivery and everything. Paid him and the next day the cunt became an "un-registered" member.
Havnt heard from him since and cant really get ebay to do anything on my behalf. Left me in a right situation as id already given my word to some 1 on here to sell my wheels to him.
Worst part of it is that i cant leave feedback for the scumbag. So i doubt il ever be using flea bay again for any big purchases.
Feel for you mate, but trust me, getting negative feedback isnt the worst thing that can happen.
