My shoes are normally under £20 from Matalan and I think I am missing some of the shades of meaning here.

Guess you're more Sam Vines than Sybil then, I'm afraid:beer:

Just let me know if you've seen any good bits of cardboard out there.

Since I thtink this is all a bit of a wind up I will venture further off topic by suggesting that cheap shoes would surely be a requirement for anyone who keeps dragons?

are we even sure this person isn't someone having us all on ???

what started as an unfortunate event involving some worn shoes, has now developed into a game of medical top trumps !

If I wasn't sure you weren't joking, I'd tell you to kindly !!!! off

It is the wigs that run up the bills - and not all of the places that sell wigs on ebay are, well, traditional. I always thought that TV stood for television.

trivial in comparison with the problems in my life at the moment, so call me what you like I don't even care anymore.

With all respect, perhaps you need to see your doctor or care team and not involve yourself with the stress of a legal case.

I agree I'm sure it is all a joke, OP could this be someone you know playing a trick on you?

Honestly, threatening a seller with the law for refusing to sell when they were not the winning bidder on an auction, oh please. I've not heard anything so funny for ages. :rotfl:

As for the various medical disorders (or syndromes) being bandied around, that's when I decided this was all a joke, before those statements I was prepared to think it was real.

Soolin - I thought it was a joke too, because I was flabbergasted. I have had some pretty crap things happen and even then did not wish to involve solicitors! Sadly I have the eBay messages to say otherwise. I think if someoen I knew was going to play a trick on me it would involve nothing more scary than a plastic spider.

I'd also rather keep this thread, should it continue, away from the topic of mental health as that is not what was under discussion.

I'd be careful about buying 'un WORN knickers' too....

Perhaps so, maybe I have been naive, but hopefully the legal bills will pay off and the issue will be sorted out.

You do realise exactly how big ebay is don't you? So you are going to sue this multi million pound company for not letting you win a pair of shoes and are willing to pay out several thousands of pounds to do this?

Do you sue someone/something everytime you do not get your own way?
