  • If you want to auction wreck, I'm sure you can find a way. I'm afraid I only give info on official channels of attack :D


    I know where they live and work... thought about delivering a lorry load of horse !!!!!! to each, flooding their inbox with !!!!!!... any other ideas welcomed...

    I can't go into it, but they really are scum.
  • If i set up another id and cause so much havoc that I'm banned, will Ebay trace this to my original ids through addresses, credit card etc and ban my other ids too ?

    Then rise above it and don’t act like scum yourself.

    The best revenge is to hold your head up high, move on and forget about it.
  • Sounds like a case of jealousy to me. You said they were *raking* it in.................

    It does sound like the OP is no better. Why anybody here would want to help is beyond me.

    So... "they did the dirty on you big time".... by going back on a "Gentlemans agreement and all that "

    Wow... they really deserve your suggestions of "delivering a lorry load of horse !!!!!! to each, flooding their inbox with !!!!!!"

    All because they are "raking it in".

    I dont even need to comment on what people make of you :(
    Be nice

    Soz, they just did the dirty on me. Gentlemans agreement and all that ( I know ) Now I'm watching them raking it in.

    From that comment it just looks like you're being childish in wanting to disrupt someone elses trading activity. As for a come back on your activities, if you choose to try and 'get even' I imagine there will be a comeback from it that you didn't expect!

    Having said that I'll give you an example of how I cost someone an extra few hundred pounds at an auction recently. The muppet in question is a greedy 'stard and recently wound me up by being the only opposing bidder on 15 identical lots, I wanted 4 or 5 so I had to bid up and above his max to get them, after i secured mine and worked out his max bid, I then bidded up the remaining lots to his max! A gentlemen would have either taken the option offered on all of the lots or taken it in turns to win them at the minimum. I saw him again this week and I calculate I cost him an extra 30-50 a lot on another 12 or so lots! :rotfl:

    yes, they will ban the account then if you try to use your other accounts they will ban them all for 12 months........ i know that for a fact :o

    I don’t understand. :confused:

    You both wanted to buy some items.

    You bid.

    He bid.

    That is what ebay is for.

    What did he do wrong? :confused:

    It looks like you would have preferred to have colluded and cheated the seller.

    Unless I have missed the point. :D

    I Think I might find out what he buys, list something that would appeal to him and when he wins it, take his money and send an inferior item that is covered by your description.

    Needs a lot of working out tho.
