Dnk Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So i tried contacting someone selling a boot cover for the classic Range Rover, 4 messages and 3 weeks later i got a response I've attached some screenshots They eventually responded with "are you sure" to my last message I sent the screenshots then got this back "hi good,,thats great but you do know that theres no chance what-so-ever that i am going to even think about posting this,, dont you? also it is the same as all the other ones and sizes and weights please do not contact me again hope this helps" Some people really do need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ebay buyers are just as bad. I sold a car on there a few months back and some barely literate smoothbrain won the auction without reading the description, wouldn't pay and then tried to talk me down on the price so I had to relist it and waste money on another week of insurance. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yea ebay for selling cars is a joke. If someones selling a car similar to yours they will buy/win the bidding so you miss the sale and they get the sale. Alot of nut jobs out there.

blythmrk Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have an issue atm where I accepted a best offer so the item is sold. Now no communication and no payment but I presume I can get my fees back through ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 I've given up selling on there, buying is hard enough and this guy takes the biscuit in his dumbness At the bottom of his advert it says "NO MESSERS, only good ebayers who want a good deal and pleasant FAST straight forward transaction no more bad ebayers all bad ebayers will be reported and blocked" What a prick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s the same seller diversifying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 His advert reads like the ones relentless write on their adverts. Maybe it’s the same seller diversifying This seller has relisted the item 3 times, really does make you wonder. He's got a shop on there and the items listed look like they came from Steptoe and Sons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The latest one that is dire, is Facebook marketplace. Some of the adverts on there, at the end of the day you are trying to sell something, put some effort in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was after a mountain bike to use at work, the amount of useless adds amazed me. “Mountain bike, £200”. No mention of condition, wheel size, frame size, gears... nothing. Literally every 8 in 10 were like that. If you don’t mind buying blatant stolen tools tho, plenty of them on there at bargain prices ha.

MattP Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Ebay is good for bits and pieces but for anything expensive or a bit Obscure like what you wanted DNK you usually run into Bi-Polar weirdos that cant answer basic questions and get stroppy for no reason its a strange place. Funnily enough I bought a Nintendo Switch game for the kids on the 09/07/2018 Donkey Kong whatever it was.... It was listed as New and ready to post 2nd class I bought and paid for it on the spot yet here I am 5 messages with no response later 26/07/2018 and Ebay wont step in to help until the 30th so im just £32 down until then its ridiculous but as I said some bits and pieces are easy to get hold of on fleabay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
