Sodding ebay waste of space buyers!
Discussion
Right.
I sold a car on ebay for my parents in law for £800. All conditions of the sale, must have more than 5 feedback and deposit within 24hrs and all that. Anyway, a guy from Ireland bid on it, fine, but can I get hold of him? I have e mailed, phoned and no answer but I have left about 5 voicemails. It finished on Saturday so I think its safe to say it wont be going to him as he seems totally uninterested.
Why do people bother, it just messes it up for the rest of us,
Rant over, any thoughts?

Some people on there are a complete waste of time.
I sold a car recently, had a couple of bidders who had contacted me with some questions and been bidding against each other. Then, at the last minute a 0 bidder wins the auction. Fine.
I send him a few messages asking when he wants to pick it up. No resoponse. Eventually, he sends me a rude message saying he is not in the country and not interested anymore.
I sent out a second chance offer, and within 5 minutes the next guy was on the phone to me, and arranged to collect it the next day.

Well it's been 4 days now so I can start the non paying bidder process. Because I only had one bid so I can't even use the second chance offer thingy. Just really bloody annoyed at this guy. He is in Ireland which, if I had been able to find this out before the end of the auction, I would have cancelled his bid. Called his mobile 4 times yesturday but no answer, left a message but still nothing

Whats his phone number - we can help and all give him a call for you. That would be funny for him.s
t headThere really are some complete fktards on ebay, i got a message this morning about a car i'm selling that just read "WHAT A BUY IT MATE, 245 FEEDBACK".
I politely told him to fk off and learn english (it's a fast car, he might hurt himself with his intense stupidity, i'm only thinking of his welfare to be honest)

Relisted it due to the total time waster.
Not with that link you have'nt !Whats the car mate?
There is a flipside to these situations - recently I had a winning bidder that I didn't hear a peep from for almost 2 weeks. When he finally wrote back, he stated he had been on holiday, and would I please check my paypal account to make sure the funds have gone in - but he no longer requires the item as it is too far away (collection only item), so I could do what I wanted with it.
So I sold it for a second time - for almost twice as much
Granted it was only £20 the first time and £40 the second time but who's complaining?!
