The way people bid their own stuff up with mates or fake names.

I have spotted it several times where a certain name has won a sellers goods several times, but second chance offers have been sent out.

And all the fake emails from scammers.

Makes you want to go to the local park, pick up a load of dog s**t, put it in a box and send it to the winning scamming bastard....!!!!!!!!!!

Its the best and worst site on the net.

Had some utterly fucking blinding sellers on there I have dealt with, couldnt have been a better buying experience short of them sucking me off when I collected the items, but likewise have been ripped off and got no help from ebay as well.

There are a lot of decent people on ebay buying and selling to turn over an honest pound note, however there are a lot of slags too, things that get on my wick are

people win an item and them you hear nothing further,

people try and bid you down or put in silly offers for something thats already a deal,its a steal,its sale of the fucking century

Then there's the good old nigerian scammers and always on the electrical goods, no I not gonna deliver it to mr awiyasenya ebeneezer nigerian provence or my husband prince michael 2 apple orchard street nigeria cos its his birthday, could you wrap it up like a present and declare its value of Ł50 GBP Fuck off

how's this for an email from ebay?

Item Name: Sierra 3 Button Fuel Computer
Quantity: 1
Sale price: Ł15.00
Subtotal: Ł15.00
Postage & Packing:
Seller's Standard Rate: Ł6.55
Insurance: (not offered)

thats the item i've won
and then i get this

Item name: Sierra 3 Button Fuel Computer
Current price: Ł16.00
Your maximum bid: Ł15.00
End date: Tuesday, 15 May, 2007 16:01:15 BST

Reminder: Even if you don't bid again, you could still end up as the
winning bidder if higher bids are retracted or cancelled. Continue to
check the status of this item until it ends.

which says i've been outbid
after i've already won and paid for the item

?
