What is it with people who string you along for days about stuff they 'desperately' want to buy from you, you bend over backwards for, you jump through hoops to make their purchase easier, then they bail on you at the last minute with a lame 'the wife's not happy' excuse ! No names, no pack-drill, but thanks for the ride mate !! NOT !!! #DREAMERS.
no further communication without a deposit. when i'm selling I make it clear that the first price is the lowest price. take it or leave it. get them told early, pleasantly of course.
When you are chased via the forum by an active member, you assume you are dealing with a genuine person, always thought that was the point of the forum rather than dealing with usual Ebay dross, but I suppose like in all other walks of life, there are timewasters everywhere.....lesson learned !
Don’t start me off - I was giving away some secondary glazing panels for people to make cloches out of - some woman wanted four of them. I left three for her as wanted to keep some back for others - didn’t even get a thank you
Have had the same on here from a guy called Ross. 3 times I waited in and three times some bullshit excuse. Guys a total c*nt.
I tend to get messed about on eBay, but not with people not paying, by people claiming something was damaged or blatantly wasn't the item I sold. I don't sell on there much at all now. If I do, I try to protect myself as much as possible or do the transaction face to face. Wait until somebody drops out of buying your house at the last moment when you are in a chain. That's the worst.
It happens the other way round too, paid a fella on here for a part and over 6 months I got every bullshitting excuse for it not arriving I sent it !! No tracking number I can't find it in the garage . I will send another one with a tracking no And finally I'll refund you !! The item was 127 euro and he got paid the minute we touched base as is the way I operate !!! Never got a penny back and the powers on hear delt with it perfectly ! This guy sold plenty of bits and pieces and for the sake of a few quid now he can't ! A total asshole !
What a drag. I always pay in full immediately on purchases but stories like this remind me why I always do so with PayPal. I add a few quid to cover the fees but use "services" and never "friends". I have no interest in giving a stranger 127Euros, I chose my charity donations carefully!
