Thanks i think you are the first person to acknowledge there is any sense in what i have been trying to say. When people are completely dismissive of what i am saying i tend to assume i am not getting my point across, so just keep going, i have certain conditions that make it pretty common for people not to understand me, especially in written communication.

In truth i still don't get it.

I understand and I empathise (forums are not the best way to discuss topics), but I don't have any other ways of articulating it; I can only suggest looking for primers on UK contract law.

That's not printed on the advert page I'm looking at? Advert has a number to call and no T&Cs or that statement printed above.

I think you should just let it go.

Yes you are right it is not there on every advert

but it is there on a lot of them
like this one

I'll accept everything i've said is wrong maybe wrong if the OPs listing didnt have this printed on it, i was under the false assumption it was always there

I don't know if that clears up the misunderstandings, and people agree my point is valid if the OPs advert had this text or similar or if they still insist it would make no difference even if it did.

Your point is nonsense.

Hopefully that is sufficiently clear

That link still doesn't have it show up on my phone. So given that I don't think it can have any legal weight at all. And I don't think you can force people to accept T&Cs just by a statement buried at the bottom of the page, simply because you've seen the advert before the terms. I think that statement that you see pertains to using it in the sense of submitting an offer through it.

You can write what you like in your advert, the law will still apply. Everyone here with legal knowledge says the OP was in the wrong, there was no defence. The only thing I can see criminal is the ridiculous legal fees including having a barrister on a £2k max claim in small claims.

Junior barristers can sometimes be cheaper than solicitors, but charging fees in excess of the value of the claim AND giving wrong advice is very poor.
