Fleabay w@nker, I'm absolutely fuming! WWYD?

How annoying. Can you buy another buy it now?

A 'brand new with tags' dress I bought arrived yesterday, worn with the tag repinned and reeking of Febreze or somesuch. I was so annoyed - if it's not new, just say. I don't always buy new for myself, but I do if it's a present. They sent me a shitty email with loads of CAPITALS in it today telling me where to go basically. Grrrrr.

Don't pay for it, and report them under 'seller non-performance' - http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/seller-non-performance.html - look under 'Additional Information' for the link to report.

Thanks for the link but what a load of sh1te the whole thing is. Needs to have 3 complaints. well, he has 100% positive feedback so obviously sellers can avoid a reserve price fee and then pretend its already sold if they dont get what they want.

so if u only do it once, then you get clean away with it, it stinks.

Can you not just buy another one? I trade a lot on e Bay and, although it's wrong, this seems quite a minor thing. My main problem at the moment is people saying items haven't arrived (even the day after buying!) and Paypal giving them their money back. And it seems there's nothing I can do about it. I have lost quite a bit of money.

well I will have to look out for another but that really isnt the point. I might not ever get one in that condition and at that price. Like I said, I saw one completed at £30 but given its an item that needs collecting, i'm then limited to what comes up again and most others have ended at £60 plus. There are also only 3 for sale on fleabay at the mo and none within reach of me. so im incredibly pi$$ed off that people think they can just decide they dont want to sell at that price when theyve entered a contract. The 'its not for sale anymore' is particularly infuriating as well no, its not for sale is it as ive bought it ?

I know there's probably no mileage in trying to get further with it but i just need to rant!

I can see why you'd be angry, but... I guess there is always the possibility he could be telling the truth.

I recently sold a high value item on ebay and then dropped it down the stairs when I was taking it down to package up and send. The screen cracked and the casing was pretty battered. I emailed the buyer and told him what had happened and he was fine about it. I'd hate to think he thought I was being dishonest. ?

I would say that you are over reacting a bit, I can understand being annoyed after thinking you have got a result in your purchase, but to be honest the guy has been honest with you & refused payment rather than letting you pay up & you not recieving the goods.

Yes, I am probably over-reacting and realise I can't take it anywhere but it really winds me up to think people can get away with deciding they dont want to sell when they dont get the price they want without any repercussions. fark i cant spell it but you know what i mean.

Im in a bad mood generally so this hasnt helped ?

My e bay problems are much worse, sorry love ?

I'd be really annoyed even though I know nothing could be done about it.

Like you i'd be of the train of thought of 'if you don't want to sell it at a particular price then ensure you start the bid higher'

You can still leave a negative though can't you?
