Sold some bits on Ebay, one item never arrived at the buyers (apparently) so went through Paypal etc, sods law, could not find my proof of postage! Anyway bloke sent me threatening emails saying that he would bid on all my stuff. Paypal found in his favour so he sets up a new account and bids on one of my items and wins it, the thicko sets up this new account in the same name and address as his original account. Ebay is now dealing with it, What a Muppet!! I only hope the second chance offer is accepted!

Sorry what's the problem? ...Apart from him sending threatening emails which is stupid.
Think I have missed the point somewhere?
-
I presume his point was he'd bid for your stuff with no intention of buying it. Thus very obviously breaking eBay's user agreements.

Yep and set up a false email user to do it, IN HIS NAME!! :roll:

I bought some Capri lamps from a guy in the USA and after 3 months they hadn't arrived, I was having kittens as they cost a lot of money.
Turns out customs had lost them but I though the guy had scammed me and he been trying to do me a favour. When they arrived it looked like they'd played rugby with the parcel, it had been 'converted'.

Had this exact same thing when we were selling a Merc A class a few months ago. We had some guy ring up offering £4k which we turned down. Someone else rang up offering (off eBay which is outside the terms) £3.7k. We told him we'd turned down £4k so wouldn't accept his offer either. Then minutes later we get a woman call offering £3.7k and telling us the car wasn't even worth that amount and we'd be stupid not to accept it. Our reply was... if it's not worth that, why are you offering it? She totally lost it and started ranting at us.
Anyway, after a number of other calls from these two we got them up to £4200 and said we'd think about it and let them know. We decided not to go against eBay rules and left them a message that we wouldn't accept the offer.
Then within a few minutes, we get a bid on the car from a zero feedback member who had only joined that minute! We deleted the bid (had specified no bids from zero members). A couple of minutes later and the bid was repeated. We blocked the bidder. It quietened down until the last minute of the auction and another zero feedback new member won it. Needless to say it was the same people purposely spoiling the auction because we hadn't accepted their off eBay offer :evil:
Fortunately, the second chance offer was to a geuine nice guy who travelled all the way from Heathrow.

I was selling a Yamaha pw50 kids bike the firstbidder had 0 feedback and turned out to have bid £250 no comunication and no payment .
took two weeks to get my fees back from ebay and he got a non payer strike against him .
Sold the bike through a local shop for £300 :lol: in the end his loss.
I have just sold the old semi hard wheel cover off the disco as it don't fit the big tyres I have on now four weeks and I'm still waiting for payment but the strikes won't be helping . :cry:
Swaped to paypal only now :wink:

I remember in the 70's getting tickets from the home club for their end when I was an way fan. The stewards let us climb over the barrier, walk the length of the pitch and get in with the away fans
