Let Down by Ebay Seller!
« on: January 01, 2013, 05:02:13 pm »
Some of you might have seen my thread about purchasing some original Pescara wheels for my Golf gti.

Anyway they were originally on ebay a week ago and did not sell. So I contacted the seller and offered him the starting bid for the wheels including delivery.

We finally agreed on a price and then I noticed he did tyres as well so agreed a price with tyres fitted as well. Emailed him two days ago as  he asked me to confirm if we would go ahead. I had no response which I was surprised at!

So I went on ebay today and low and behold the wheels have been relisted :sad1:

Personally if we had come to an agreement I think it should be honoured! Or atleast had the decency to let me know they have been relisted! Or is it just the way things are these days!

Think instead I will treat myself to some new BBS wheels in the group buy from GNJ Motorsport so his loss  :P

have you contacted him via your ebay control panel rather than email

Via Ebay control panel and e-mail, why?

email can always go missing, the control panel will make sure the msg gets there.

if its all getting through, and he's actively ignoring you and relisting anyway, then i personally wouldn't want to deal with him

seems a bit odd though

Ebay often block messages that look like they are trying to arrange deals outside Ebay, they have certain keywords and stop emails, he might not hav got them

I am sure he has received my e-mails as he was very quick to respond originally.

Think I will spend some more on some New wheels :happy2:

We also communicated via his personnel e-mail so I know they got through.

Re: Avatar; ta, thanks to RedRobin for posting up in another post, cracking ass eh.

Perhaps try one last time via contact seller on his new listing if there a very good price.

really? i've often ended up doing deals outside of eBay (both as a buyer and seller) with no issues. tbh it's only really good for advertising. not sure i'd want to sell through eBay nowadays with the number of clowns and scammers you get.

....That's a real bummer re the eBay let down, Ian  :sad1:

All I can offer you in sympathy is that shot of Jessica's beautiful bum...........



Quite apart from having an adorable arse, from what I've seen of Jessica Ennis in various interviews (especially on The Graham Norton Show) she's truly a lovely lady in many respects.

Gosh! This thread has gone from woes about buying wheels on eBay to glorious pics of hot babes in less than one page!

So, nothing new here in 2013 then!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  :drinking:
