    Also, they're saying they paid £32 each, but in the item specifics the face value of the tickets are £16 each

    He doesn't actuallty say he paid £32 each, he says he has paid £32 hence why he has set his (ficticious!) reserve. he ob. doesn't read his questions to seller as I mailed him earlier after reading this asking how he intends getting the tickets to someone on time when the auction ends after the event and the cheque wouldn't clear until everyone had forgotton it was ever even on!!

    Must admit that I only saw 1) the reserve error, 2) the cheque clearing error and 3) the finish of the auction after the show date error.

    So well done to you all :D

    The auction finishes after the date of the exhibition ~ silly people!

    Thanks, but that's been said already!

    To Omereton, surely two of those are the same really, cheque clearing after the date of the exhibition is the same as auction finishing after the exhibition.

    Doesn't really matter that a cheque wouldn't clear in time as the exhibition had finished already.

    Can we make the fact that the website he quoted doesn't work without adding www. one of the official answers.

    p.s. I'm just waiting on the guy to come on here and say "Hey, that's my auction you're ripping to pieces." I'm going to send him a question and give him this link!

    If he's on holiday he wont have seen this.
  • And how on earth had he not realised he was on holiday, well some of us are saying "he", could be a "she"????? I'm sticking up for all you men out there and I'm "she" so do I win anything? Anyway well done to Omertron for spotting it.

    I am quite often on holiday and still accessing the internet, but then he'd be able to answer the questions on ebay then too.

    Thanks but I knew it had been said already - I was the one pointed it out to Omertron in the first place which was the reason for the thread ;) I was obviously a little late in responding though...
