Picture the scene. A car you’ve owned for 26 years, been in a garage for 20, that you now know you simply won’t get to. 2 days to go of a 7 day auction. Reserve passed a few days ago. 5782 views 412 watchers 16 bids from 9 different bidders. Ebay admin delete the listing. After 2 hours of hunting for a contact method got a helpful soul who informed me it’s due to me being a new seller and had not authenticated. My pointing out I’d been active for over 20 years and authenticate on login met we’ve made an error. Ok I say, can you restore my listing as it was? No. Only relist and start again. Cant see me getting momentum back, can you? Cheers eBay. Clowns.
My 'joyful experience' of facebook marketplace led me back to what I assumed was the warm embrace of ebay, given that it cost me £25 to list, I assumed I was in safe hands. You can't win apparently. Is the world literally full of inept cabbages?
If you've got a perfectly good new one for just above the asking price and want to correct me in a facebook marketplace stylee please Frank Bough.
Nothing like being bartered down from £1 to 37p by someone exclusively wearing Ratner jewelry in Mr T quantities.
Annoying. Best thing to do is relist and contact the 9 bidders to explain and advise of the new listing, serious ones will come back. What car is it please?
The listing literally disappeared - so I couldn't find it to contact anyone. It's doing a bit better - 822 views, 92 watchers and 5 bids - but the original listing had blasted past its reserve by now, this isn't at 1/4 of the same reserve.
