    I hope he does not cut himself on the sharp scissors and that the crayons he uses to write with are the right colour because that'll be the OP's fault as well.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    It really does make you wonder about some people, buyer is showing an amazing level of stupidity even for eBay!!. Please can you id them so we can add them to the blocked buyer list.

    The seller concerned called the customer this morning, and it turns out it was his 15 year old son who was bidding and sending the messages. Father was apologetic, and really not amused...

    I guess we can expect more antics from the precocious generation over the next few weeks.

    I wonder if this is a symptom of political correctrness brigade giving kids too much freedom - they now have it in their minds that they can do no wrong, and think they know everything about everything.

    And this is our future?!

    So has the father now agreed to close the dispute with no further action?

    Or is he simply playing the get out of jail free card now he's sobered up?

    I find it amazing the number of ebayers who now claim it wasn't me, it was my son/daughter etc. What is the son/daughter doing with the ebayers user password in the first instance?
    Do parents give their kids bank cards togethre with their PINs too, so that their darlings can raid their bank account at will? Or is it just innocent third parties that they allow them to harrass?
