Guest Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well I for one didn't know it was "illegal" to communicate outside of eBay's messaging system. And did the buyer ASK for the 5 back? I'm guessing no. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well I for one didn't know it was "illegal" to communicate outside of eBay's messaging system. And did the buyer ASK for the 5 back? I'm guessing no. He shouldn't have to ask, if the blokes taken his money and not sent him anything, why hasn't he refunded him? I've no idea why you're sticking up for the seller, he hasn't got a leg to stand on. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Supercorsa Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Am I the only person who checks feedback before bidding on Ebay? Another tip is to only bid/buy from trusted sellers, I can thoroughly recommend ebay seller mayfairmenthol. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 He shouldn't have to ask, if the blokes taken his money and not sent him anything, why hasn't he refunded him? My point is, I'm guessing the buyer hasn't asked, because then it's an end to the claim. Until he asks, we can't say the seller stole his money. I've no idea why you're sticking up for the seller, he hasn't got a leg to stand on. People who know him seem to want to point out he's a nice guy, but maybe he is a spineless evil jerk, I don't know. I just feel bad for old fogies who don't know how to use "the internets", and feel like this whole situation is someone trying to take advantage of his ignorance. Is that fair? I suppose so.

vince ayres Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just got back from a week in gran canaria so just to bring everyone up to speed, i have received no messages from him through ebay and on checking my paypal he has refunded me with a pathetic note saying its all ebays fault, the whole charade has been cloak and dagger all the way without ebay being involved or me being able to start anything in the resolution centre as he's now refunded me. So thats and end to me ever receiving the record which i can live with but with the feedback i've just left coupled with his low score i'm pretty sure thats the end of his trading on ebay Would anyone like a fiver on him complaining about my negative feedback?

Sutty Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 At least his daughters have got a nice holiday from him selling his record collection, so something good has come from a pretty sad debacle really - and he's not my friend at all, don't know him, just done some good business (as have quite a lot of others) with a guy who is very inexperienced in dealing with selling on the internet. It seems to me that his crime was simply ignorance, never spite, and that it became a battle for revenge more than anything, trying to destroy someone's reputation over 99p plus post, something i'll never understand. cheers Sutty Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I was saying to negative based on him keeping the money and lying. I did leave a negative over a record I won for $50 recently when the seller told me they broke it and then it appeared 2 days later as a buy-it-now for much more than $50. and the seller was being greedy as it wasn't worth more than $50.

Sutty Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 fair enough comments, I agree, but did he ever lie or keep the money? appears not. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest julesp1905 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Did the seller allow the auction to end? Yes, the final price was 99p............everybody with an ebay account had the chance to bid on the item, 99p was all the item was worth. the seller has refused to sell the item for the price it was won for, even emailed his stance, clearly not a good transaction for the buyer and more than entitled to leave feedback for the transaction, after all dosn't ebay encourage the use of the feedback.

vince ayres Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 so you didn't get a record super cheap and you're proud of yourself for f*cking up this guys ebay account? i haven't f***ed up his account account he has, he has to this day not replied to a single message of mine through ebay and has only replied through direct email and is still blaming ebay for the mistake,i'd have alot more respect if he just come clean through the normal ebay channels and stopped sending emails direct.It's the hiding it all from ebay thats got me hacked off so yes i am pleased to leave him negative feedback as this may stop him wasting anyone elses time. Ive personally lost a fortune on records via ebay as that is the way of the bay and i expect other people to play ball or find other ways of selling their muched love treasures.

Steve G Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So presumably he'll be "reselling" the Flowers again but this time at a higher price? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest john s Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 A shame that his first-ever sales listing on ebay appears to have gone so badly, but I guess that the experience will have made him aware that a 'reserve' price and a 'buy it now' price aren't the same thing!

Guest Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 he has to this day not replied to a single message of mine through ebay and has only replied through direct email and is still blaming ebay for the mistake,i'd have alot more respect if he just come clean through the normal ebay channels and stopped sending emails direct. I had no idea these were the rules, and have inadvertently broken the rules over the years. What's the chance of a guy who mistakes "buy it now" with "set a reserve" knowing? Even less.
