Default What is it with people on ebay

I cant get my head round some people

1, I was bidding on somthing that i wanted on fleebay but was outbid in the last 2 seconds but the resevrve was still not met

I bid £650 and was the highest bidder for 3 days ( it was at £320 until the last 3 seconds )

I mailed the seller asking ( before auction ended ) how much he wanted but he wouldnt say , I told him if he let me know the reserve i would enter that amount asap ( 3 days befor the end ) but he wouldnt say

Anyway , after the auction ended i mailed him again asking how much he wanted ,,he replied 4 days later , Make me an offer
I replied ,,Just tell me the price and if ok i will pay it ,i didnt realy know what it was worth so couldnt realy bid him

I have now never had a reply after i have mailed him 3 times asking if the item is for sale or not



..It gets worse

I am now trying to buy another item on ebay ( a Range rover ) , I have mailed the seller , as the advert says advertised elswhere , so i asked him the price to buy it now ,
He replied with the price he wants

I am happy to pay the asking price so mailed him back 2 days ago and yesterday , and again this morning saying could i have a contact number to arrange to view and if happy buy

NO FUCKING REPLY

Why the fook dont people put a contact number , or if the dont want to why the fook dont they reply to fooking email

set of wankers if you ask me

They want to sell somthing ,,i want to buy and will pay what they want but they dont reply

why not just chill and wait,he could be seeing family,and you have asked for a buy it now so i presume its not finished yet?remember ebay is for people not in business to sell things as well so there may be time delays where they are not in the "office" so to speak.

Totally agree with you paul, if you intend spending time with family, dont bother listing items on eBay christmas week... there are 51 other weeks in a year so it's not like they aint got plenty of time to d it

you moan more about ebay than i do but you can see how frustrating it is when no one gets back to you can't you

you are stuck in limbo not knowing if you can put the money aside to get it or put it towards soemthing else

Yeah but your moans are about you being a spaz and not knowing how Ebay works, Pauls are genuine moans
i have a bonafide letter from the docrot informing people that i am, indeed, as you so eloquently put it, a spaz it's in my medical records and everything

but he's on about people not getting back to him as a general moan, and so was my last moan, and he's only on about 2 or 3 days and mine was 5 weeks

fair play if that's the case, but what if you can't retract your bids?

never mind, i'm an ebay goofus so i probably wouldn't try that method for fear of fucking up and buying something like a train or a boat knowing my luck
