"I'm not a business seller" and other assorted lies

This one just takes the biscuit:

Hello and welcome to my page. Firstly let me say thanks for looking and just so you know i'm not a business seller therefore my service is much more personal and polite. I sell all sorts of clearance stock mainly from a well known catalogue shop. Most of my items come with a 12 month guarantee and i'm allways here to help with any issues but from my experience selling i have many happy customers and don't really have any problems.

!!!!!!? :mad:

I was going to highlight the offending parts but I think it's pretty self-explanatory!

Gosh that is a bit blatant, 'I buy things to sell but I'm not a business', I wonder if seller is dim or just naive?

Why are people like that allowed to trade with the wrong account when others are picked up for selling a few second hand clothes? Still his stars and feedback suggest he may well fall by the wayside at some point unless he improves his selling techniques quickly.

I've given up reporting these business sellers now as apart from one I've never seen ebay do anything about them.

I've just bought from a 'private' seller who sells brand new goods with more listed than my business account and actually has a trading name, but their stars and feedback is going the same way and i personally have now waited 10 days already for my goods, so not good.

So these undeclared businesses think that thay offer a more friendly and better service than a registred business who trades within the law.
they do make me laugh as there was one a while back whom HMRC caught up with and they had to submit endless accounts and be audited,their answer was I wasn`t making very much money!!.

Ha, I just noticed this on one listing too:

Hi and thanks for looking. I am offering you the chance
to make lots of cash just like i have done over the past few
years.

Like Soolin I had given up reporting these sellers but this one is SO blatant I can't quite believe it.

I'm tempted to use an old ID to buy from him just to neg, which I've never done, but I'll restrain myself

It's never worth lowering yourself to their standards.
