£10

Despite what he's written in the text below I wonder where ebay would stand if you selectd the buy it now and told him you'd bought it and would only be paying him a tenner

Aye, he says use the buy it now to pay £250 for it though, but surely ebay would back you up if you clicked and intended to pay only a tenner as he is breaching their rules and trying o dodge their fees.

Wish I'd just bought it for a tenner now!

I sent them this message before I bid above the Buy It Now price.

"Hello Mate

Your Buy It Now price is currently £10.

I'm going to bid £10.01 so you don't end up selling it for a tenner.

Please note I do not want to buy this engine, just thought I'd do you
a favour.

This is the reply I got:

"wot r you on about mate"

There's no helping some people!

What an idiot, teach him a lesson and buy this for the buy it now price of a tenner, as has been said before i am sure Ebay would back you up as it does list it as available for a tenner!
