Hi and welcome, here i have a mk3 vw golf windscreen scuttle tray, these often crack and break with age however this one is not, only a few minor scratches and the rubber seal is in almost new condition, these are becoming hard to find now, if you have any questions please ask, please check out my other listings for vw spares

Ebay is ok but you do have to play safe. I always require registerd delivery when I can. I am always prepared to be took for a mug, sorry but it is the nature of the site. I have just had some one buy an item from my site, he used paypale, but my add clearly said to collect and pay cash. I am now getting short changed thanks to haveing to pay Pay pale charges. Still he will get his item when I get the cash in my hand. Sorry to say, I will not be going to the bank for about another week. Have fun Cheers Pete

 

good and bad everywhere, I use ebay daily without issue

 

Never used the site and never will

If I'm buying something I want to see it in hand before I hand over any money. And if the item is too far away I will just look closer to find one

 

You signed up to use their service, so abide by their rules. The rules say that sellers HAVE to accept Paypal payments. If you don't like it, you are free to sell your stuff elsewhere.

You should price your stuff to allow for the costs of doing business.

 

At least you recieved said parts.
I bought a phone off the last year sometime, 3 weeks later a package came, happy as larry I opened it to find a Hong Kong dollar instead of the phone.

 

Me too. Use all the time only ever had one dud egg fully repaided by paypal.

 

I'm the same but an injector short and they sent another

 

What comes around goes around hey rob

 

Bit more to it than that. It say you have to offer paypale. But you do not have to take it if you do not want to. as long as you say so in the add and I did. I had already knocked money off to alow for people to collect as this guy still has to at my, expence
I have been with paypale for many years and this is the first time this has happened. Most people read the add and then buy and not get someone else to buy for them for this sort of thing to happen.
Pete.

 

Did you phone up and complain????

 

i use it often buying and selling its good 98% of the time, get the money back for that panel though its junk.

 

Regardless of what you write in the add, the rules require you to take paypal. Simple as that.

Therefore it is you in the wrong.

 

i never accept paypal if its collection

my brother had a guy pay by paypal, he collected then stated he never had item delivered,paypal refunded,one brother out of pocket...

 

Think what you want. but there are millions out there that buy and sale to the same rules as me. also the chap has already appologised for his error, NOT MINE . Cheers Pete

 

There are millions of people who break traffic laws every year. doesnt make thier actions right or excusable.......

 

PayPale is great but like you say, But if you want to be safe you do need to take some sort of signature and even when some one sends their own messenger to pick up the item and deliver to them; you still need to get the collecting firm to sign for it nomatter what firm it is.
The whole system is wide open to abuse, but thank god most of us are streight and only to happy to get or sale our Items. Cheers Pete

 

Lol!

 

i never except paypal because of this, i put in description no paypal!! send it, they recieve it and open up a case with paypal saying they havent recieved it and you lose all of your money 100% of the time! seen it time and time again with people i know!

 

You was robbed Rob, I got a pair of immaculate ones down Pick-A-Part in Erith for £6 the pair. Even the rubber seals were immaculate. Little bit of GTechniq C4 and they were like new will stay that way for a very long time.

 

LMAO Pictures!

 

Im still waiting for a 2.50 phone battery coming from hong kong lol.

 

I had some slag buy a fish tank off me, it was described perfectly with any damage etc. She collected it and was chuffed to bits. Only then I got a negative feedback as it was a 'bit tatty'. It is a 10 year old fish tank for fucks sake, silly cunt.

Needless to say I have saved her as a favourite seller so next time she lists something if it's cheap I'll bid and win it just to return the favour, stupid whore.

I'm not bitter, honest

 

Btw it's PayPal no 'e' on the end.....

 

Funnily enough the exact same happened to me with my tank.
Some right fools on eBay.

 

I know that .. so he should not have payed by pay pal. I have met the guy now he has his goods and I have my cash. in the bank any way. He knew the rules and appologised for his wife who brought the good on his behalf, he knew he was at fault but had not told his wife not to pay, even said if I refused the paypale payment he would pay me again on collection. I think you need to re-read the rule on pay pale. or dont ever buy of me. cheers, Pete

 

There is alot of this going on, I have had people tell me how they have done it. I do not often post items and when I do I always do it with insurance and registerd. I like people to collect and pay me cash and even when they collect, if any of them were ever not happy with the item, I would not hold them to it. I am a fare play type of guy, as I also would not pay for somthing on collection if it was not as discribed.
Cheers and happy dealing on ebay its a great site what would we all do without it. Cheers pete

 

Cheers for that, I have always been a sod for adding e's
My last wife Vale always keep on about it,
Mind you spelling never was my strong point. Cheers Pete.

 

Could you confirm now is your name Pete or Pet then?...

 

Up until I was 13 back in 1960, I used to skip school to go out on my motor bikes over the local fields... and there were lots of fields back then. I always skipped english classes, never maths or geometery or phisics, so up until I started to teach myself to read, I used to spell my name Petter. Beat that.
Mind you I only tought myself to read not spell, but once I started to read on pc, being used to seeing words in type print I soon saw how bad my spelling is/was. Cheers, Petter out
