Yes, I am laughing at you, you got that bit right..
I tend to disregard your late night / early morning posts..... Can't think why.....;)
You sound like a failed small business. You really need to sharpen up.

Pray tell, what is this called thing called " winging" you speak of sir?

ok mr 11 000 posts, sounds like you have a bit of spare time too.:beer:

seems to me it is a no -deal, ebay nor mse will help you here, prove me wrong or carry on whinging.

It was sorted out yesterday with the good advice of both mse and ebay.

Sorted out...Did you get the item?

Probably why everything I list is BIN...

You laugh at me,but in reality ebay don't give a toss...nor do i. We all make our own rules on ebay. Ultimately the joke is on you as you never got the item. Perhaps if you had put a marker bid in and played the game straight you might have won.

Sniping is bad business. For the scavenging bottom feeders among us here on a 1 second snipe then fair enough but I don't get it, nor do i do it, nor did you . And you come here winging lol.

I suspect your eBay account is probably on borrowed time.


And probably your MSE account too!

You'll be sorry to hear I did.

Great! was this just keeping at it and letting him know you wouldn't forget it, or did ebay intervene?

A reader of the Sun accusing another member of ungentlemanly conduct ! Priceless !

No muppet - alternative energy actually.

I won an item for £4 - seller refused to honour,

Left neg feedback - which Ebay promptly removed.

Ebay make it up as they go along. Their feedback system no-longer has any integrity.

Would you excuse me if I have another little rant :cool:

This is another thing that irritates me. In the old days there seems to have been a lot more negative feedback being used because it was the only way a buyer could express their dissatisfaction, it was open and people could see instantly what a buyer left . Now that we have these defects it allows buyers to sneak around damaging a seller whilst pretending to be nice by leaving a positive. Personally I find that a nasty bitter way of conducting business.

In your case techspec you were upfront and honest and left a visible negative. If however you had been out to wreck a sellers account and left all low stars with a positive rating it would have been left - that is absolutely ridiculous.

Annoying isn't it -I hate leaving negative feedback, only done it twice in about 300 deals. But it should be a warning to buyers and a reprimand for dodgy sellers which is circumvented when ebay remove it.

Sniping is ungentlemanly so I wouldn't sell it to you either.

Then I would happily leave you with a lovely RED NEGATIVE comment and mark on your feedback along with reporting you to ebay PLUS go via Paypal to obtain a full refund of payment.......
