    I once ordered a vaseline glass tray and some matching candlesticks-amazingly only the candlesticks were broken-the seller 'packed them', (I use the term loosely), by putting them in a jiffy bag with no packing whatsoever. He was surprised when I e.mailed him to say some of the items were damaged. Fortunately the tray was still in perfect condition and I still got a bargain as they were really cheap.

    Did you get the item ? or did you tell him to F off ?


    Because I paid via paypal before I collected he gave me £12.50 in cash whilst I was there arguing with him (I never got the item). I then went home and opened a dispute and got my paypal money back so it cost him £25 in the end.

    Wrong I know but...

    No no no no

    Twas compensation for the messing around, fuel etc

    Or you could call it stealing, it's up to you. Either way the guy learned a lesson.

    Not at all! The seller was a kn*b at worst but the buyer ended up a thief!! You couldn't make it up!!! Negative feedback and low DSRs would have been punishment enough!

    Yeah, whatever - you're a thief, a liar and a fraud, plain and simple. Post your ebay ID so I can block you!
