I specifically travelled from Cardiff to Cheltenham today so that in the morning I can meet the buyer of the Disco.
I've just had an email from her stating that because she couldn't sell her car, she now has a payment problem
I could have worked from home today and saved my costs and time - to say nothing of the £50 in listing/final value fee's it's cost me.
So much for protecting the buyer - another instance of the seller getting shafted >:( >:(
Interesting how they won't answer their phones to discuss alternative dates too.
-
You had a fair idea something was amiss after the payment method >:(
-
Report them to Ebay. All you can do. >:(

If they can't buy it outright, or they want to pull out, why can't they do the decent thing and just tell me !!
If they let me down tomorrow, I will not hesitate to start an unpaid item dispute and relist it immediately!!
-
Whatever you are selling nowadays James there are a considerable amount of time wasters! >:(
-
Finally - a call.
They can't buy it because they don't have the money until they sell something else.
Charming.
They have 24 hours else I log an unpaid item and relist it :(
-
I wouldn't mind but, the auction clearly stated if you don't have the funds, don't bid !!

when i lived with my x, i bid for a dvd writer off e bay for 2.98. the delivery charge was 9.98. when i won the item the bloke put the delivery charge up to 33 quid. i refused to pay it, contacted e bay, got no reply. 2 days later i was suspended, im still suspended now. which they wont lift.

Surely if the delivery charge was initially on his listing then he hasn't got a leg to stand on!

I would be building a nuclear bomb in my back garden.... :o

I have never used e-bay and never will due to all the hastle and fraud that clearly goes on. Savings there may be, but the risks outwiegh the advantages in my opinion. :)
-

never again anyway, people are just well, .... i dunno what they are!!

How right you are lizzie!! i dont find it that cheap for mot things anyways

When I use ebay I automatically assume that I am dealing with a low-life. If I am right I lose nothing, if I am wrong, happy days.
Never assume that something is 'sold' until the filthy lucre is in your mitts.

Did you get the book you bought off me - i posted it yesterday.
it was " how to speak your mind wasnt it" ;D :y

Seriously though, i agree. Seller is being shafted recently by ebay.
Fortunatley - or perhaps down to the type of thing i sell i very very rarely get unpaid items etc.
I guess i have also benefited from the recent change in feedback as mine has gone from 99.6% to 99.8%
-
I think Ebay are getting so many businesses selling these days they are shifting their Ts and Cs accordingly - to put greater emphasis on buyer protection.
About time they had some serious competition.

The number of sellers inconvenienced v buyers shafted appears to be minimal. We all know under the old scheme, buyers were forced to leave +ve feedback, no matter what. Hence I'm all for the new scheme - its not perfect, but its a big step the right way imho.
Certain items you'll always have hassles with - phones, laptops, cars and so on. I avoid buying/selling these. Probably why I have very little hassle on Ebay.

The feedback changes I agree with. After all, what can go wrong with a buyer? They either pay or they don't.
