Waste of Space Ebayer

[birdinflight]

I put Dereks Bird on ebay last week and last night the auction finished with the reserve having been met and an extra ?50 on top.

So I emailed the winning guy and got a reply this morning from him, should have known really by what he said..........asking questions that should have been asked before he bid.

Anyway, I give him Dereks telephone number. Couple of hours later I get a call from Derek to say the guy has pulled out, because....................his wife said if he gets a motorbike she will walk out!!...................what a prat. He might even be on this very forum as he has ridden a bird before so obviously has an interest.

I have emailed him and requested that he at least honours my fees. I know thats not going to happen. Second high bidder has been emailed to see if he wants it. I can see me having to go through the non paying bidder route.

:bang:

faaar too many of them around love...

It doesnt only happen on bikes either... I had the same thing with an idiot from Greece... I put on the sale notice "Will post to UK only". This idiot ups the price untill he wins, then says how much postage to Greece... I price it up and its ?36.00

Tough shit he says, I aint havin it.

So I put bad feedback on him... He says he aint paying that much postage. I reply its at cost from post office parcels... I still hadnt sold the item....:bang:

Got in touch with ebay, and they refunded my sellers fee... I would give that a try if I was you.

Best of luck. And as they say

"Illegitimi non carborundum"


Dont let the bastards grind you down..

Chin up darling.

Best wishes to you & Derek,

Rolfy

Being of the pedantic nature myself will you try to get it right FFS it's NIHIL CARBORUNDUM ILLIGITIMI. (Never let the b'stards grind you down).

my mother used to manage some boarding kennels in Arthington, and the owners had a sign in the window. 'Noli Permiterre illigitimie carborundum' no bastards allowed, wondered why my mum always made me wait outside
