Default ebay merchant banker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just feel the need to have a rant and get it off my chest.
Sold a 200 block,head and a T4 on ebay for £815,£325 and £500 respectively.

1st twat lived in oz and decided he didnt want to pay me in full until may when he was coming over.....£1140 for block and head...like fuck was i gonna wait that long.....sent a second chance offer to another guy for £20 less ,now this arsehole is fucking me about....turns out he lives in malta too and hasnt paid me yet either....i strictly said no overseas buyers too.

Sold turbo for £500 and this guy hasnt got back to me after 10 days either...prick....reported him to ebay for non payment of item.

Totally fucked off with ebay wankers...why fucking bid if you aint gonna complete sale.

Pricks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry...rant over!!

i had a beetle on there last week.
1st winner was an african scammer so i relisted it
next winner was a girl who claimed she had been caught drink driving the night she won the auction so no point buying it.
i sent a second chance offer to the next biddder and got no immediate response so i relisted it again.
then the second chance bloke decided he wanted it so i had to end that listing.

then he came down and tried to chip a load of money off because he thought i was desperate to sell it.........he bought it eventually!

ebay can be a nightmare nowadays,especially as i now have to claim back 2 lots of charges on the car which i cant even begin to do until 7 days after the end of the auction

I dont ever bid on ebay for anything.. if its not the seller your bidding against its some asshole who has just upped the price with no intention of buying anyway

Because they know they cant get negative feedback from sellers now so its no skin off their nose if they dont want the item anymore. Its just the sellers that get all the shit.

i have an idea for a new auction style website. which i have thought of. with some new twists to get rid of some of the messers and snipers. problem is i wouldn't know where to start in making a site like that certainly ain't risking gettin mugged off by some goon to build it and he takes my cash and runs

Even if someone turns out to be genuine and they pay via paypal you still run the risk of not gettin paid if the buyer leaves neg feedback.
