Ebay seller want's to have a rant...

Evening people,
I just wanted to have a rant really! so apologies in advance. - I have recently listed lots of dvd's to clear out the bulging shelves, a buyer bought one on BIN on 12/7, completed checkout to advise payment will be sent shortly, several reminders later and still no communication, so last night I opened a NPB case, the responded today to say

"I am very sorry. I never meant to buy this item. I was browsing and did not realise. I'm trully sorry
but I will not be paying for this item. Could you please delete and forget it. I am trully sorry."

Now I find it rather difficult to see how one can only be browsing and yet still manage to complete checkout?! - so i replied to this effect, to get the following response -

"I am very sorry. And I thought by putting payment sent you would realise, I had made a mistake. I trully am sorry about this."

Really??! Surely there should be some sort of intellect test before you can open an ebay account?! :mad:

yours disparingly...

    Report 'em and don't fall for the sob story!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Excuse me, but exactly how does someone 'accidentaly' buy something they didn't want?, perhaps they don't realise what 'Buy now' means.
