Angry Scoobysworld (Ebay)

Just a quick heads regarding this Ebay seller ...I recently 'won' a facelift grille from the above, but trying to get contact info regarding payment/collection out him was like trying to get blood out of a stone & i still haven't heard from him ...even tho' he's relisted it (& surprise surprise it's now at a higher price than i won it for)

He's got quite a few Subaru bits & bobs, so be warned

makes honest people look bad doesnt it
i always chuck a few bits on there and get them posted out within 2 days of auction ending( subject to immediate payment)
thing is when i sell stuff on there its usually just odds and ends that are cluttering the place up so i put it on therer really cheap as well!

just to make things absolutely clear, this seller has absolutely nothing to do with us (despite a very similar name!).

Heres the link I think you're referring to

Sorry Neil, didn't mention that he's nothing to do with you

& here's the item i 'won'

IMPREZA TURBO FACELIFT GRILL WITH BADGE IN PRIMER on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 13-Sep-08 20:52:56 BST)

Luckily i was going to pay cash on collection so i'm not out of pocket ...but to then relist & it suddenly is worth more with a few days to go smells a bit iffy to me

So if you're reading this 'scoobysworld' aka Gav from Rednal ...just put a 'reserve' on the item's you're selling if you want a minimum price & stop mucking people about!

Isn't that the point of eBay feedback? This guy has 100% positive, you need to leave feedback on eBay to help buyers avoid

If he was an idiot he would not have sent you a cheque back..

If you have the original item and listing still, report it to Ebay. Surly they could d something about it, but then they probably could but probably wouldn't

I don't agree with buyers being able to hide there details and only being shown as Bidder1, Bidder2 etc You don't know if your bidding against the seller or a friend of the sellers. I had that before and I traced it back to the sellers wife. She was the one I was bidding against
