81-cortina Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 to put you in the picture, a few weeks ago itried selling my mk5 cortina on ebay, it sold for £930 to a zero feedback bidder, you can view the feedback of the guy using community on ebay site (WORTH A LOOK I PROMISE YOU). bloke had no intention of continuing the auction and left abusive emails and negative feedback aswell as knackering up my dispute causing my to pay nearly £30 in fees THIS ALSO serves as a warning to others, "AC-BUYER" was the original timewaster who has since been struck off, had a lot of problems and i had the brunt of it. well i put my car back on ebay yesterday evening for a buy it now of £600. ac-buyer is now blocked, however the winning bidder whos user name is appropriately TOSSSERS, has clicked on the buy it now after i specified no bidders with under five feedback. quess who it was!!!!!!!!!!!! yes your spot on, he sabotaged it again, and so far, good ole ebay has done sod all about it, but i trying a different method this time i have asked ebay to completely remove the listing from ebay meaning that no feedback can be left and i am not responding to messages. and guess what he put as his address, i think ebay should have a better system for new members signing up like you have no option but to give card details. here was his address. time waster i hate old cars scrap it tinker lol, Lancashire ln458hk United Kingdom (01657) 343589
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 fooking apple pie should be kicked off altogether if he doesnt like old cars he doesnt have to look or bid on them
Rick Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 what a cock. cant you get his real address from his paypal details?
81-cortina Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Posted June 15, 2007 my sentiments exactly, and i dont think ebay does anywhere near enough to prevent this or at least reduce it, even when you complain you just end up with a few automated replies from them, still trying to get the original negative feedback removed now i will soon have two to try and get rid of, ebay only seems to be interested in your cash and thats it all i can suggest is anybody selling beware and take note of zero bidder, i know some are genuine but theres alway a chance especially if you have a buy it now.
81-cortina Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Posted June 15, 2007 the user name is independant of paypal and he has no link between paypal and ebay, believe me if i could get a real address i'd happily go to prison for murder, the way i feel at the moment. his first name was made up also and that was similar but from swansea
Rick Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 i think with the new ebay listing system you can actually block bidders but only below 0 feedbackers! i mean do you really want to deal with ANY below zero bidders
81-cortina Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Posted June 15, 2007 do you mean theres a system where all bidders with -0 feedback can be automatically blocked prior to bidding? does not seem to really stop new bidders with a zero rating though, or am i wrong if you mean to manually block them you need to know who they are, too late for me but anybody selling could block the name TOSSSERS, i'd recommend it
Mr.Sumo Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 the mans obviously w***ker , seems to be living up to his user name .
Cookie Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 ats why i hate the buy-it-now option, does,nr give you a chance to cancel bids and ebay are very quick yo want there money regardless of wether or not the sale has gone through, my m8 sold his scooby to a timewaster who never even made contact and cost £59 in fees, he had to pay them before they would even considr giving them back, and when they did 2 months later they just put his account in credit, and you cant withdraw credit from your acc, so basically 60 notes down the drain untill he wanted to sell on ebay again, wich he does'nt Fookin ebay wants to sort itself out, and all this bollox they give about zero rated bidders and not being able to block them, well maybe if they verified new users then the need would'nt be there, block all unverified bidder with under 10 feedback or something, they can do it by setting limits on paypal etc so why not on ebay????
