right I sold the cheapo tyres off my m5 rep wheels as I will not skimp on tyres!

there was nothing wrong with them and I checked this before I sold them this was a on the 9th of october and now today the buyer is saying that they have sidewall damage and are unsafe etc
I have worked in the tyre trade for well over 10 years and been an mot tester for about the same and would NEVER sell anything that wasnt fit to be used

Sooooo how the fuck can I prove I have done nothing wrong as Paypal are holding £90 that was in my account

This is my ebay add
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MESOX:IT

 

i had the same thing happen to me with a 235/35/19 the bloke said it had s/wall damage as well,when i told him i had been fitting tyres for 23 years he backed straight down hes trying a fast one contact ebay and tell them this

 

did you post them, or did he collect? if collected could mention that in the paypal responsethat the buyer looked at them and were all ok

 

nah they were posted, I fucking knew they were going to be a pain in the arse took thm a week to pay even tho they were bidding in the last few secs

 

you get crap like this on ebay all the time he will send you back his old ones and you will be out of pocket.

 

you'll get stitched up here matt i'm afraid mate. when selling stuff like this its collection only IMO

 

only thing i guess here is explaining to paypal that you are a mechanic/tester etc and qualified to have assed the condition before selling and ask matey for pics of the whatever damage he is claiming about.....

 

its got quite bad in the last few weeks for me had loads of messers, I will be taking a drive if they try anything like that

I really fucking hope not

Going to get the missus to call paypal and see what they say but guessing im going to get


Am starting to think that its all down to another ebayer

I won a "good" pair of continental tyres 6/7mm of tread changed due to wrong size etc for £75,
bargain but when they turned up 10 fucking days later I got a fucked(puncture/split in sidewall) conti and goodyear run on flat(that had been runflat so also fucked) and its only since I have been trying to get all my money back I have been having probs with other ebay users like bidding and then days later saying there account had been hacked

or maybe i'm just being paranoid and this is just another ebay cunt?????????????

 

Fuckin hate when cunts do this

Like you say aswell, they are able to bid at the last minute but cant pay for the fucker straight away

Jakey chancing bastards

Hope you get it sorted fella

 

i sold some tyres last week

put on the ad
sold as you see them

end of

didnt make much money but to be fair i got em free from the tyre place when i got some new tyres as they looked good and i was gonna make some tyre swings, was it was 18" were better for swings os sold the 17's

nightmare hassle tho

i used to sell loads when i worked for a main dealer, used to bin loads of good tyres
always 'sold as you see them'

 

ebays full of them mate especilly now they dont let the seller leave bad feed back so now more people try it

 

Spot on mate, cheers

tbh I am wishing I hadent bothered now as we are moving house on wednesday so really could do without all this shit

Dont I know it mate think i'm getting more than my share at the mo

 

To be honest id say to him you want them back and will refund him, trouble is iff you dont paypal will more than likely refund him his money and then he will have a free set of tyres which sounds like what his plan is.

 

As above if you are seen to be doing "your bit" by saying send them back to me and I'll refund you in full that way if he doesn't Paypal should tell him to do 1...

Too many wankers about these days that'll tuck other people up. Karma can't get to them all either

 

+2

i once had that with an engine, was collection only, they had a pallet co collect it then said it was wrong lump so hinged
i teld em to bring it back, cos it was collection only they couldnt do shit
was a good engine too £40 was a bargain, cos em more to have to collected

tell em return for refund, worst case you get stung for postage

 

Thats exactly what I would do mate. I have had loads of shit with ebayers recently and dont even bother trying to prove buyers who are trying it on wrong. Just offer to refund on return and 90% of the time I dont hear anything back from them.

 

its a shame that this sort of thing happens all to often i had a guy bid on a £500 mtb without looking at it. as soon as this happened i knew there was going to be trouble. he came to collect the bike, gave me cash and told me he didnt really want it. a few days later he tried to get a £50 refund as he said the forks on it were nakered. good job i had an invoice from a well known suspension specialist for a full rebuild. he left me bad feedback and ive never heard anything since.

People like this ruin ebay

 

i thought this thread was about me somehow not sending you the money for postage on that jack point cover then

ebays full of cunts at the moment, i sold a couple of sets of wheels a few weeks back and one of them went out via courier, thought i was gonna end up with similar then but turned out ok.

The problem is ebay is all on the buyers side, no support for the sellers at all.

 

Didn't read the rest of the thread but send a letter before claim and offer to take him to court. Literally, the amount of time you can waste talking to twatpal is a joke. I would (have) sued someone for much less than £90 when they've fucked me about and lied (cough a certain postal service cough) so don't let that put you off.

I presume you have proof of delivery in whatever form?

If nothing else, a nice CCJ will stop them getting credit/a decent mortgage deal. That thought always warms me more than caring about whether it will get paid, especially when it's not much money.

 

lol nah mate all the stuff I sold has not added the postage on the invoice


ebay is deffo getting worse thats for sure

so far they have not replied to me asking for pics that was Saturday lunch time, also told them what I do for a job so they "MIGHT" just fuck off
So at the mo its £90 I cant spend on the Cossy

 

If you do ask for them back, he'll no doubt insist you pay him the postage to return them, and if he is a really malicious cunt he'll add some sidewall damage first.
If you dont ask for them back, he'll just win the paypal claim probably and you'll lose all the money.

Bit of a lose/lose situation TBH!

eBay is so stacked in favour of the buy it's unreal.

 

Little update I got my money back

THEM
ME
Them

 

Brilliant

 

post his ebay username up, name and shame the scamming c**t

 

ive had this before tell him to send the tyres back and youll refund him its the only way your not going to get bad feed back,and if he does send the back and they are not in the condition you sent them contact paypal,but i bet he complains that you want the tyres back.
no tyres no refund

 

yup put his username up so we can all ban him from our auctions

 

Ebay Member ID luccaollie and his name is ryan smith from Leicestershire

Funny I have just looked through his feedback and hes bought another tyre the same as i sold him

 

Then he will just register under another username

Ebay is just total shit and full of wankers

even wankers who use this website who bid on items and then retract there bid for no reason

This user is well know on here and was well known to me , I thought he was a decent bloke but turns out as soon as most people click onto ebay they turn into complete and utter fucking pennyless waisters

fucking bastard cunting rant over

I FUCKING HATE EBAY ,

 

Are you sure you hate Ebay Paul or do you want a brief minute to think about it

 

Im quite sure thanks

To be honest i dont hate ebay , I just hate 90% of the fucking twats that use it

 

WOW lol

its got a lot worse in the lat few month + everybody wants something for nothing

 

Thats the problem Matt

If it isnt for fuck all they dont want to buy it , and sellers are selling total shit thats fucked and they should have it rammed up there arse

I just love ebay wankers

 

I had a 1999 V plate Fiesta on there for 10 days finished at 7pm Friday at £520 (cheap for a car thats just had over £300 put into it for an MOT etc). Guy phones me today and gives me some sob story and blew me out..... he had over 1800 feedback as well.


Steve

 

Problem is with 99% of ebay users is they have a champaigne lifestyles but lemonade pockets
