Why do idiots put stuff like this in Ebay listings

[englisharcher]

This guy insists that you pay him a deposit within 2 hours, and then if you fail to pay he will take you to court.

I know we all hate idiot buyers, but putting stuff like this in your listing will just bring out the idiots.

Also, what does he think he will take them to court for?

There lies your answer!

What is it with ebay idiots and CAPS!!11!!

[jimnicebutdim]

The spelling is atrocious as well

[condor]

Well he can't spell versatile

[Podie]

The guy can't spell, let alone figure out how to turn off the Caps Lock key. I think that tells you all you need to know.

Also...the deposit required within 2 hours must come from the Pope!!

I've noticed the same. Handy enough though, because it identifies the idiots that I would never buy a car from.

[englisharcher]

If you make an offer, and he accepts while you are away from your computer for 5 or 6 hours, therefore not paying the deposit within his 2 hour window, will he refuse to sell you the car?

Maybe he has an account with the Vatican bank?

How can they? It is not an auction.

I thought a Papal Deposit was something to do with altar boys and buggery.

Tempted to "Buy it Now" with my disposable Ebay account to see how far he gets down the small claims route

[DaveZX]

Declined

Looks like a small time dealer - anybody feel like asking what warranty is provided?

[englisharcher]

He's had 7 offers now, do you think he's figured out someone is messing about with him

[TomN94]

Why do you have to be in Wirral Cheshire to bid?
