more fleabay hastle

[dieselboy]

ok, so some of you know im trying to have a clear out, and flog stuff i no longer need (some things i have sold just to stop me throwing them in the bin, and have charged postage, fuel and packaging costs plus just a few quid on top)

so, i let an auction run through on an expensive item and some german bought it and wont pay!! just like before on those other items!!!

so ive opened it for a second chance offer and contacted the next highest bidder.... nothing

so i contacted the next bidder (its only £20 less than the maximum bidder so i can let it go for that and his bid was £90 + pnp)

so i contact him and tell him what the situation is:
from me:
hi, i might be able to offer this watchguard to you as a second chance offer. the original buyer wont pay,
if you are interested, and the next highest bidder does not pay either, i will let this go to you for your maximum bid.
thanks
t.

he replied:
The offer was 20 pounds + postage ? Yes, I´m still willing to buy it.

what a cheeky feker!

so i reply:
im sorry but your offer was actually £90 plus postage.
i just want a non-hastle sale. if your adement your bid was only £20, then i will simply re list for another 10 days and let it run through once again.
see below is a copy of the bidding list i get now the bidding is over:
[ID-removed]( 6 )
Send Second Chance Offer £90.00 14-Aug-08 08:01:03 BST
that shows the time and date you bid £90.
thanks anyway

joke!

I bid for a stainless steel wheel cover last week on Ebay no one else bidded on it so I won it for 99p. The buyer didnt want to sell it because he didnt make any money on it. Isnt that what reserve price is for? Hes a new seller and has got off to a good start with -1 feedback...

u forgot to do it as a uk auction again then

I have a character on fleabay at the moment whose bidding finger is far faster than his paying finger

He has a feedback rating of 1 (that's 3 positive and 2 negative, and is in danger of getting a non payment strike if he doesn't shift his bum.

Is that the right way round ??? Is that an IOTW offence , or have I missed something making me an IOTW candidate. It doesnt read right to me

For a simple spelling mistake??

Even Trev wouldn't be that petty on an offender, would he???

It's not the spelling, is that you caught as well?

[dieselboy]

you've all lost me!

he probably meant his nose picking finger.

[BUSHWHACKER]

No, I spell it, Who's.

[Chillitt]

No, I spell it, Who's.

Would you say that is more or less noticeable than some one complaining about a payment being quicker than the bidding..?

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

It's a fair cop !!!

However, seeing all the comments here do I detect that you want Vince to join me for being SO SLOW to pick up on my error ?
