    I listed some taps a while back, and got sent the oddest question - 'Will it fit my sink? It is white.' :T
    Gone ... or have I?

    My rant is sellers that refund you for no valid reason probably because they got a better offer after the auction finished :mad:

    I'll raise you with negative feedback because a bag I sold of my wife's didn't match the buyers outfit because the white was a different shade than her blouse :D:D

    BIN mobiles sell quicker, your loss.

    I would have only put a BIN of £110 but it reached £135, even the bid before the scammer was £131 so I would have been better off than a BIN price.

    people will pay whatever u say when it comes to BIN. at £110 it clearly woulda bin ur loss, hence y u list it over the odds. people always pay it if they need/want the phone now.

    I sold a bike on ebay, I was offered £600 as a BIN (I didnt have BIN option), at the time the bid had reached £750, so I advised them to place a bid and wished them luck, it sold for £1200, some people will try it on ;)

    I sold a dining room table, and a woman emailed me asking 'will the table fit into the back of a Ford Escort with the seats down'......I just said, you will have to measure the gap in the car and decide for yourself - she didn't buy it.

    All she needed was a saw, it would have fit with plenty of room left over for the legs ;)

    I'm also being harrased by a seller at the moment, two emails every day for the last week, after I left a neutral for an item not received...
    I received a full refund from Paypal who found in my favour a month after buying the item.

    How can something that didn't arrive and then you have to appeal to Paypal get anything other than a neg?
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
