PM Sent to MangoBay: "Hi I am interested in the Camcorder you have on ebay will you take £50 inc P&P?" Reply from MangoBay "Sorry but it's an auction. Starting Price is £40 and P&P £10. Why not bid and see if you are lucky enough to win @ £40 + £10 P&P?" Time Waster places bid @ £40 Time Waster wins item Time Waster wins auction and sends MangoBay Private Message: "I don't need this item now so wont be payiing for it. You may like to relist it" silly billy
"You may like to report him to eBay". He won, he pays. The face-punching is another option, of course...
to be fair - you trolling him does not help your case with ebay - if you left it at - you win you pay and his reply - eBay would be more favourable
I had a problem as a buyer. Had my eyes on a 091 gearbox and was prepared to bid whatever it would have taken to win. The seller removed it before the end of the auction .
I used to stalk my non payers ,just see what else they were bidding on ,see where they lived on google ,ask them questions with my other ids ,just normal stuff...
I don't think eBay give a toss, they get a slice of the deal even if the seller won't seller or the buyer won't buy. Blatant abuse of contract law - just needs someone to get precedence set and then the floodgates get opened. I had an situation where I'd won an item and the bloke wanted more money than it sold for. Told me his wife didnt want to sell and after checking his feedback, he'd previously welched on the same item to a prviuis high bidder. Total waster - why stick it on eBay starting at 99p and no reserve...
