Nice to see eBay take action on this (LX with £320 postage)

[inthedoghouse]

They've finally taken action over the £320 postal charge fiasco and he's made it collection only. Maybe somebody does actually take notice when people report items.

But he's acting like a kid throwing his toys out of the pram by making it collection only - whereabouts is Annan anyway?? He's doing his best NOT to sell this..

"whereabouts is Annan anyway?? "

Not sure if he voted nae or aye!

Yep!

I can't say that I blame him.

My sister-in-law sold stuff on eBay for years. Then she sold an unwanted wedding present, the buyer said it was faulty (which it wasn't, it was brand new and in full working order). She said return it then, thinking she'd just get the receipt from whoever gave it her, and take it back to the shop.

She got back an empty box !

And the buyer gave her negative feedback !

I hope she sent every catalogue, fitted kitchen/bathroom/wardrobe/shower/Army/Navy contact to that address...also arrange for a deliver of fresh Manure from the local stables...

Remember "don't get mad..get even"

I'm sure the %age of items on sale on ebay that are listed as [i]collection only[/i] is getting higher. Or is it just me?

I recon this is down to large numbers of sales that do go wrong.

He still wins the award for 'Most Obnoxious and Up Themselves Seller' on eBay

What a surprise that most of his stuff gets relisted

I think we all know what he is, don't we, boys & girls?

And a prize one at that!

I thought we had a free market here in the "enlightened" west, where people could set there own price and conditions on a sale. The market will then decide if it sells or not. If someone wants it at that price and under those conditions then it will sell. If not, it won't. Aren't these actually important principles of how our society and economy work ? Didn't our forefathers actually fight wars to protect these sorts of rights and freedoms ?

Personally, I think he's making it more difficult for people to buy his bass, but it's his right and he's not insulting or hurting anyone.
