ebay

peopl eon ebay really f~~k me of i won some wheels for a really good price obviously he was excpecting more so i get a message, sorry mate my brother has given the wheels away so im going to have to cancel the transaction. what a load of bull its an auction site if you dont put a reserve then it sells for what ever price it sells for end of. This has happened a few times now. also at first i said to him could you please package these ill will pay extra for packaging if needed and can arrange a courier to collect he then says sorry i dont know how to pacakge them, whaaaaaaat

I gave up with ebay a long time ago mate for these reasons

Ill go on & have a nosey but if ther is no contact number i dont bother, ebay is a joke & a mugs game if you ask me

you do get some really good bargains though and for the most its been fine just so annoyingthis time as i really liked the wheels im leaving him negative feedback he can piss off

To be honest I'd have done the same thing.the price to put things on with a reserve is just simply too high,eBay has gotten very greedy over the last few years

why would you do the same just put your start bid at the least you would take for them, if you would do what this bloke did dont use ebay simple. He started the bidding at 99p its not my fault noone wanted them apart from me

My start up price is always my minimum price I'd accept.what feedback score did he have?he might have mistakenly put it on too low
I won something last week for 99p and was told it had been sold already didn't bother me as I wouldn't have sent it either

I absolutely hate ebay and that's why I very rarely buy or sell anything off there unless its a buy now price.
stuff you get is often tat and that's assuming you ever get it in first instance.
ive lost count of the amount of money ive lost through buying rubbish that's supposed to be good, or stuff that's removed at last knockings as its not brought what seller was really wanting
the whole thing is corrupt and ebay fees are a rip off, very greedy along with there paypal robbing counterparts, which is handy but at 4.1% the fees are scandalous especially on larger transactions

Paypal is defo a rinse ..... i have won stuff on ebay for very little money and been told its sold or just been removed then re advertised its simple and pisses me right off if you dont want to sell it for little money then dont fooking advertise it for less than the amount you want to part with it regardless of cost for the advert

Robd if your start price is the minimum you would accept then if its worth more than 99p then put it at more dont waste people's time by putting it at 99 then lf it doesn't sell for what you want not send, don't use eBay else that ruins the point in bidding.and like nomad said if you don't want to sell it don't advertise it for so little and not send when no one but one persons bids.

The bloke had 100% feedback and now is moaning I'm gonna leave him negative feedback saying its not his fault it's his brothers what a douche bag

Ebay is hit and miss but you can find some unusual items on there.
With regards to this seller i'd tell him b*llocks, if you advertise something and you allow your brother to give them away then thats his own fault.
Think people also start at 99p as the insertion fee is less.

report him through ebay as a bad seller

Yeah you can report him or the item under .... avoiding fees

Concrete-gtir out of interest what wheels did you buy and how much did you win them for

Why have you done this recently or something

no

actually just seems like you are a bit pissed off as you won some wheels for 99p and the guy wont send them
whether it is right or wrong to sell something with a 99p start up price is irrelevant its seems more of an insult for you to demand he sells them to you for 99p

What on earth are you talking about its eBay an auction site if you put something up for auction with no reserve or with out putting a start price of the minimum you would take then who ever wins the auctions wins it simple as that. You entered a contract when listing your item, you don't sell something and just because doesn't make what you want not send it that's ridiculous if you think that's how it works. Also I didn't win it for 99p I won them for o£77. Most people seem to agree with what I'm saying apart from you which is very strange but if you want to work that way crack on.

I do have to agree thats the whole point of ebay .... it seems alot of people seem to forget the fact that it is a legal contract you are entering when selling items rules are there supposedly to be abided by ...

Well robd I am another that does not agree with what you have said, if you put it on a 99p start then you take the risk.....pretty simple really. I have had some bad experience with eBay from others .....but then you will always get idiots in life and people who back out of deals....differance is some of us will sue over it!

Sounds like robd is another eBay messer!
They get my anger right up!!!!
I've had it done across me a few times now!

If the shoe was on the other foot and you had bid the wheels upto £300 then found some for sale at £250 and decided to tell the seller you didn't want his now. He wouldn't be to happy would he!?
eBay is a joke these days!
To many kids thinking they can get mega money for their shit and trying to avoid the £1 listing fees by doing a 99p listing. Fucking skip rats!

Think you maybe the minority on this one robd .

iv sold a few things on there before and got pennies for it! Not the best but then when the buyer says it hasn't arrived? Iv had to claim for a hks filter and maf before it sold for around a fiver lol I posted it recorded and they said they never got it? and was never signed for so never to sure if its all lies even at that price?

dont list it if its not for sale at that price or sell elsewhere simple

Talking of things for sale anyone notice the lack of pulsars on pistonheads seems to be all jumping onto gumtree must be the fee for advertising on there or something .

Bold statement from me but alot less cars full stop i think.but yes pulsars never seem to have been the same since the fees
