Default Ebay has left me RAGING.

Just trying to sort out the garage and shed so had a load of ebay stuff to list.

It comprised of
1 Rover 220 Turbo engine
2 Rover 220 Engine
3 Sony Ericsson W810i
4 Nokia N80
5 Some old toss not worth mentioning.

So. In my holiday I listed the items and to date this is what has gone wrong.

Item 1. Gentleman contacted me and collected the engine next day. No issues here.

Item 2. 1 Bidder throughout the auction met the reserve then won. He was very good with contact and said he would collect a few Mondays ago. Never turned up. Wasted my evening so I sent him a polite email saying "Thanks for wasting my evening"
No contact until last Thursday saying his house was burnt down. So me being me I gave him the benefit of the doubt as he said he was collecting 9am this morning. Guess what no contact no show. FUCKING Tosser.

Item 3. Yeah young lady paid for this item. It was unlocked and I told her this but she kicked of because it came in a Vodaphone box and I had said it was unlocked. I told her to insert sim and switch on. To my suprise I recieve and apology email.

Item 4. Sold at 175 with no feedback user. Who didnt pay.
Relisted and sold again with a 20 feedback user and this tosser hasnt even contacted us.

Item 5. No issues here.

Ebay seems such a waste of time. Fooking messing toss pots.

Its like 80% of my auctions though. I really cant see the point on bidding on some thing I dont want or cannot afford.

what i want to know is what are you doing with 2 rover engines in the garage

but i know what you mean, bucnh of coonts out there, i sold a set of rims to soeone in denamrk, and when he emailed to say he was there is told him he'd have to collect and he said fine
2 weeks later
he doesn't turn up so i waited and then asked where he was
he said he was coming the next weekend
came and went and still no fogineger turning up
so i left him neutral feedback saying he didn't turn up to collect
and then he kicked off saying i'd got the wrong dates
wanker

and then there was the cunt who bought a load of brakes off of me and then didn't pay

ah yes, the famous "this engine is fitted with a special diff so it won't wheelspin" model eh

to be fair, it looks very understated
