Classickid21 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hello all, Today i thought i sold the 500cc but later to know it was a donut with no money... i went to cancel the transaction notice i had sold something else all (expensive) the bill came to £1895 - ebay fee's. first he said he was too far, ok no problem, then i saw i checked my feedback (2 nasty msg's because i didn't reply in time) now been removed. soon as the bike has sold via ebay i took the details down and saved them .... also contacted him with my details not giving my full address just my phone number. now the excuses came ?he started changing his address numerous times.... lies begun started out he lives in Devon then london then bradford.... so who is this buyer well the donk forgot to take his phone number off eBay i am tempted to give him a call tomorrow and tell him off. ... so i have outstanding ebay fee's because this silly little oink couldn't pay because of his silly excuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 This is why I was recommending Gumtree! eBay is a joke these days, not worth the bother. The only thing it's good for is getting hold of dirt cheap Chinese plastics or levers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six30 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You should list it as a classified add, then any one who is genuinely interested can arrange to come and view it and hopefully buy it.Auctions for cars and bikes are just a magnet for fooking idiots.

eastanglianbiker Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 just explain to ebay what has happened and you will not get charged as the sale has not gone through and they cannot take money for something that didnt happen apart from listing fees which if you talk to them nicely they might waive due to the nature of what happened but it would beworth speaking to them on the phone rather than by email and make sure you have buyers id ready for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 How much did you sell it for for that kind of fee Classified bikes and car sales, one off fee £15 I think I'm coming off eBay as a seller, it's shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ebay generally deal with these idiots pretty swiftly. Its certainly in their interests to do so.I've not had too many problems selling on eBay. On the rare occasions that i have had a non-payer, I just cancel the order and relist. Fees are refunded and life goes on. No big stress. Unfortunately it's a sad reflection on modern society and proof that the general public shouldnt be trusted with computers!!!

Too many plonkers in this world with very small noggings or non at all. This has put me off selling expensive items.The buyer belive it or not is the person i brought then er5 wheel from!! He has two accounts i court him out i took the address and saved. The later hes name and address changed but the dopy sode didnt even change his house address on both accounts they matched ..... Hes very smart not! He left two negs witch i have had removed.... What in the earth perzes someone to do this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
