Angry people on eBay
Discussion
What is it with randomly angry people on eBay? I'm flogging my kit car and I just had an all caps message ranting about how I was breaking the terms and conditions. The chap seemed convinced that because my car has a '79 plate it must be incorrectly registered. I sent a patient reply explaining how the SVA process and registration worked but I was tempted just to call him a prick. I've had it loads of times in the past too - people who seem to take either the listing or the price as a personal insult. How do these people make it through life if such minor things irritate them?

Is he selling anything 
Have just had to get angry on eBay myself.
I'm selling my iPhone as I've recently upgraded to a 3GS, and stated clearly on the auction "please do not ask me if there is a buy it now price or if I will end the auction early. I will not, and you will be banned from bidding on any of my items."
Listing went live at 12:15 today, within four minutes I get an email "Hi, I am a genuine bidder and want to know if you have a buy it now price?"
Ahhhhharrrrggghhhh!!!!!!!! Banned, and suitably sarcastic reply penned.

I just sent my iPhone off, got £180 off Envirofone for it. A lot less hassle than EBaying it.soad said:

Put on a blocked bidder list, you mean? No-one seesm to fully read listing descriptions anymore - be it car ads or something else entirely...

I feel your pain. I recently sold a set of wheels on Ebay and stated local pick up only. The winning bidder was based in Hungary.
You need this then:http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/buyer-requiremen...

I got £250 for mine on eBay, and that was a pretty good price for a 3GS.
Incidentally, battery life is even worse on the S.
Wa*kers.
