eBay Time Waster's

[callum]

Piss me off,

Okay, So i placed a bid for two decks and a mixer, won for £80 inc postage.. Item was £40 postage was £40 which seemed way too high for what they where....

Then an hour ago i got this message:

"
hello there i will send u a refund these decks are going to cost 60 pounds postage wich is well to much leaving me with 20 pounds u can pick them up if u want an ill just charge u the 80 u paid if not get back 2 me a refund will be maid"

£60 My Arse! I think he's pissed because no one else bidded.. But he says no timewasters on his Ad! and look what he has done...

Any advice? that i can take..

Regards
Callum

Just give negative feedback, if he doesnt want to sell them, he wont.

I simply ster clear of ebay, total waste of my time and just p*sses me of all the time, Yes you can get good deals but had alot of bad experiance so just dont use it. good luck though.

Tell him to refund you the postage and you'll arrange a courier.

Not a lot you can do I'm afraid, other than reporting him as a non performing seller :( and leaving neg feedback.

Bad move...

As when these decks get 'damaged in post' it is your responsability as you have the contract with the courier.

Been there, got bent over with that one before..

[StreetDragster]

Ah, didn't think of that

i'd second that, if he dont accept that then leave him back feedback

I would just like to say that not all eBay sellers are bad. In fact the vast majority of them are good straight dealing honest people.

There will always be one or two bad apples though, wherever you go.

Yeah i agree most of them are very good.. another thing.. he cannot do what he is doing..

since he enterd a legal binding contact by selling them.. Meh thinks a phone call to ebay is up next..

[sacko]

No point. Its only Ebay, they cant make him to feck all :)

Wont do any good. They cant force him to sell the goods I'm afraid.
The only recourse is the Neg feedback and reporting as a Non performing seller.
Just get the refund and move on.

I like the way he said you could collect and pay the £80 rather than the £40 as there would be no P&P :rolleyes:

I am surprised he didnt pull the auction or stick in a reserve if he had a figure in mind...

I once bought a bath spa off ebay won it for £8 postage £4 total £12 it cost him £13.88 to post it it as it was real heavy he obviously didnt check his postal rates before he put it up for sale.
Lesson learned if selling on ebay always find out how much its gonna cost you to post it :)

Callum, where does he live, perhaps someone can collect for you and post them on at cost?
