Acceptable or not? (& what to do)

TurkishDelight

Long one, sorry.

I bought two items from a buy it now at 2am of the first.

By half nine the same morning the seller phoned. I didn't answer beause it woke me up and I didn't recognise the number.
Quarter to 10 and he sent a message asking me to phone him, which I didn't see because I'm not actually glued to the laptop.

Half 10 he phoned again.

He wanted to know if we lived near a town (50 miles away) so he could hand deliver them as he was going there.
Bit weird but, whatever.

Then today the things turned up at about half 12 (not tracked, so he could only be guessing that they'd get here today) and they're okay.
5pm he phones, asking me if they've arrived, and what time, and if I could leave feedback.

I didn't do it straight away as I was sorting out other stuff on different accounts *slaps own wrist* :A
7PM he sends another message asking me to leave feedback.

Now I feel like this guy is a bit fruitloop, so I left him a positive with a 1* for comms.

But I still feel pretty annoyed. Wondering if I can/should report this to ebay, as it just feels like a bit of a invasion of privacy.

This wasn't a big purchase by the way, just sneaking over £20.

That is beginning to sound a bit stalkerish to me but I can't see ebay caring.

Perhaps he's trying a bit too hard to get his feedback in shape? Or he's loopy lol

It strikes me as an instant way of losing feedback, not gaining it.

No, I guess not.
I couldn't prove (well, not instantly anyway) that he had phoned me at all, so I guess it's fair enough, just a bit.... creepy and irritating when it actually does happen.

Well that's the odd thing- 100% over 500 with very good stars.

Perhaps he saw your profile picture on facebook or the internet whatever and he thinks you are worth a try...???

I'd get mr Ashton to answer the phone for a while, just in case!

Definitely not that. :rotfl:


But modesty aside I use my legal name on ebay, but I've not signed up to any social sites in it.

Nope, we'd only been asleep a couple of hours, had to get the long weekends post packed, wrapped and dispatched.

It's not just because we're terrible nightowls, honest. :A

Have you got an illegal name as well?
