Bargains on ebay?

[Barry]

Ebay,bah.Just won a nice old B&O system on there,then the seller gets in touch,"oh,sorry,Ive already sold it and didnt realise the auction was about to end so couldnt contact you" bastards!!

Sorry to hear that Paul - you must be spitting feathers!

I'm not that conversant with the rules and regulations for sellers, but I would certainly report this incident to eBay. Sadly you won't get your B&O system, but the seller might be banned if he has broken the rules.

I've had similar in the past were the seller didn't like the price it went for. Bumholes!!

That has been my only bad experience with eBay. I 'won' an item with a bid that was considerably less than what the item was worth. The seller obviously thought the same and refused to complete the transaction: he became incommunicado. I reported it to eBay and the seller was banned.

Theyll be getting the mother of all negative feedback for starters...twatbastards!

Sadly, I don't think that can be done if you have not completed the payment procedure.

Report it to eBay. Somewhere I have the phone number, I'll try and find it for you. The staff at eBay can be very helpful, even though there is not a lot they can do.

I agree with the others, take it to ebay resolutions Paul and be sure to paste the sellers message into your form. What an utter twonk

There is no need to contact ebay by phone, they will only say try and work it out with the seller and if you can't raise a dispute. The ability to leave negative feedback is not dependent on whether the buyer has paid. However you should raise a dispute first and give them the opportunity to complete the transaction and only then if they do not complete should you leave them negative feedback as you are perfectly entitled to do.

Well, I couldn't do that for my case of the seller not completing the sale. The 'leave feedback' page was inactive and remained so after reporting the case to eBay.

Perhaps things have changed; it was four years ago.
