    :mad: :mad: some people are so greedy it makes you sick i mean if they could not use the holiday offer it to someone else for FREE as it was a FREE HOLIDAY,

    people like this in my oinion should be BANNED from using this site as they are obveiously using it to gain money how SELFISH its people like us who lose out,i would have loved to take my 2 little girls away for a hol but they were all gone,probably to people who sell them i just went on ebay and there are a few for sale :mad:

    the person mentioned above has already sold 4
    £51
    £29.99
    £31.23
    £31.30
    and the one just ended
    £170.99
    so they have gained £314.51
    AND 5 FAMILYS LIKE MYSELF HAVE LOST OUT BECAUSE OF THESE PEOPLE

    Well, she got her blood money. As you say, £170.99.

    Pontins should ask for positive ID when people check in and it should correspond with what is on the documentation. It would be the only way to stamp this out. If someone genuinely can't take a holiday due to unforseen circumstances, then the person taking it over should be prepared to pay whatever fee Pontins stipulate to change the names. It's a bit harsh but it's the only way to stop greedy unscrupulous people like this one on ebay.

    What goes around comes around, she'll get hers!

    People like that are too thick skinned to care about what anyone says!
    I know how you feel but don't waste your anger on someone so pitiful.
    Her day will come! She will get it all back 3 times more.
    I am thinking of a way to notify Ebay about her in a subtle way.
    anyway, think of the poor idiots who won the auctions. They all think they got tremendous bargains!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    yes they prob think they got a right result:rotfl: :rotfl:
    ebay prob wont do anything about it there was a free music concert on and people were selling tickets on ebay so the people running the concert contacted ebay about this but i dont think they did anything about it it was on the radio i think in the end you had to show id with your name on it that mached the ticket so they could not be sold i would say contact pontins but we dont know her name or what not :mad: :mad: and it would also be unfair on the people who paid her for the tickets although they could try claim the money back from her

    I purchased a holiday off of Ebay - the names have all been changed and are in my name! I paid £50 for it!

    Well, that may be more of a legitimate sale you got that off.

    Some people may have genuinely bought and paid for a holiday and not be able to take it due to unforseen circumstances. Then of course, they are entitled to try and recoup their money.

    But, this person on Ebay is selling more holidays then she could have paid for and taken in the time span so something smells fishy there.

    And it's her!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    When i found out this "woman" was putting these holidays up a few days ago i emailed her and said..
    Hello, I am very interested in this holiday but before i bid i wanted to know if this was one of the free holidays that pontins have been offering over the last week and a half??
    Just wanted to ask because i would not bid on something that was free and taken advantage of as I tried to get one of the free holidays but they were sold out.
    I hope you understand my intolerance for people who do things like this.
    Hopefully you are not one of those people.
    Thanks

    This was the reply i got back...
    i dont understand you. why am i taking advantage of you. even if the holiday was free it is only £30 at this time.
    its a simple case of i have something that you want so why shouldnt i ask a price for it.

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
    SO shes admitting its a free holiday.. and is also very snotty in my opinion..so i emailed back saying bascially what id already said about it being discusting and she should be ashamed..She sent me this message back..
    the offer is still open
    all you have to do is keep phoning them
    i think they have a certain allocation for each day.
    dont be bitter.
    the whole of ebay is full of things like this
    what happens if there is a competition to win a car, i enter and win, but have no driving license.
    should i give it back
    should i not enter if i cant drive.
    life is full of imposible questions and far too short th try and find solutions.
    if you want i can send you the details so you can try and win one.
    many thanx

    Sooo she is blatently selling these holidays, putting them like "this cost £500 when booked" to make it seem like she paid for them, selling them when they were free!!! and robbing people who really could have used these holidays as they might not get to go on another one this year like myself.. :mad: :mad: :mad:
    What a b1tch
    Oh and i did report her to ebay but havent heard anything back yet.

    yeah right and the ebay replys are like:
    "OK we'll investigate it"
    tum ti tum ti tum
    "oops sorry [STRIKE]our fee has been paid[/STRIKE] the auction has ended"
