Is eBay full of douchebags? - Endless Ages

Duck Jibes · 02-19-2008, 02:38 PM

Well I just won a bmx frame that i'd had my heart set on for ages now. Happy as i was, i come home only to receive an email from the seller stating how 'It wasnt ment to be for sale, had tried to contact you.' This made me LoL for so many reasons. Firstly the fact that i emailed him the previous day! lol and he replied to my question, odd, i thought it wasnt for sale...Next after looking at the history of the auction i find that 5 days into it he added pictures (ok so he is adding pictures of the bike he isnt intending to sell!?). Finally, bollocks not not being able to stop the auction or get in contact with the bidders, FFS mate if you couldnt cancell the auction then you clearly dont have a valid reason to and secondly you could of updated the description to state its not for sale, not mentioning the fact that we were in contact yesterday!! It's clear to me that there has been some underhand dealing going on, theres enough evidence

Anyways thats my anger out, ive given his the choice of 'Sell or Die (death by flame)' Or ima in depth report his ass! - as i told him

Whats your opinion on this...

Salright let's crack some eggs over his car and put some TP over it. Dump some brake fluid over the top to ice the cake, and take leak in his gas tank.

All for toying with a mans emotions.

TRAV29 · 02-19-2008, 04:29 PM

i would be mad so i would report him

Maelstrom · 02-19-2008, 05:24 PM

i think if a fag posts something on ebay
he should be smart enough to realize someone is expecting to buy it if they have bid
if anything this is a perfect time for bad feedback

Duck Jibes · 02-20-2008, 01:37 PM

Ok, and sorry Kane where you blaming me for something there? lol 'people like you' refering to me!? If a seller has 100% rep its hard not to expect good service.

blood_reaper · 02-21-2008, 11:13 PM

yeah same with this guy i tried to buy a new graphics card from, next time he saw me, i was with my brother hlolding a lead pipe, needless to say i got a refund

I don't use E-Bay at all; I wouldn't want to risk not getting what I ordered. It's just easier to go to something called a S-T-O-R-E, that way you can see exactly what you are buying.

I've used ebay a few times for oddball stuff that I couldnt find elsewhere and no, Id say the majority of people on ebay arent scamming but there is a lot of people out there who are.

I've paid for stuff a couple times and never received, but a quick call to your CC company will get your money back asap every time.

Just make sure you buy from people with good rep, and rep from many different types of sales, and comments from buyers that have good rep too.

I've purchased a few things on ebay and received them all - even one where the item was lost in the mail and the seller sent a replacement via airmail at no charge to me. Sellers do everything they can to stop you from giving them bad rep because if they have bad rep nobody will buy their sh*t. You get stuff a lot cheaper on ebay than in store Impact, and I'd say it's easier to not leave your house than go shopping

Nice ^.^ well im fairly novice atm, mountain biking is my thing but i got bored of sacking myself going over large jumps so decided to go for a more freestyle riding option so when i pull out the tricks i dont totaly pwn my balls which currently happens lots on my offroad riding spec bike -.-

Oh and yea eBay is a great site which tbh is normally ok, just the occasional dick about which in my case was hard to spot since he had 100% rep. Thing i was rly ****ed about was that i highly doubt ill get something of similar quality at the same price.
