Default Yet another eBay timewaster!

This is the third car I've sold on eBay, the 2nd in the past six weeks and yet again, another buyer who bided, more than once as well over the course of the auction, who hasn't contacted me or turned up to buy it!

eBay don't seem to care, you can't leave then Negative feedback as a deterrent or warn other user they are a time wasting wanker and to top it off you still have to pay the insertion fee. Really had enough of eBay.

Going to use it only for buying from now on.

ebay is a joke - i just sold an ecu, immobiliser and coded key for my astra - was on a buy-it-now and some guy has bought it and then emails me a day later after i asked when he is paying and he asks for the final three digits of the part number and now wont return any correspondence

wasted my time and i could have really done with the money this month

its a shame its a good place to buy stuff from, as you can get some good stuff sometimes.. ebay and paypal make soo much out of the people that used it its like as said they dont give a shit, so hope that less people sell stuff on there they might just think about it.. sell yur cars on pistonheads, least your not wasting insert fees all the time.

It is good for bargain, I bought a Cosworth banana pod with gauges the other night for Ł67, but selling is a nightmare, even more so that you can't neg anyone anymore. My personal experiences with them was what stopped me using them for my company at the time, which I told them when I went to the London offices and they didn't really care and nothings changed.

I was going to give them a positive then write what a timewaster they were, but then I risk getting a Negative from him when I'm on 210 feedback all 100%
