  • Several others have also bid quite high amounts, I must be missing something here, mass hysteria maybe :confused:
  • Tried to contact member but ebay is not allowing me as I have had no contact with ebayer regarding sales and it is for protection reasons. Did try but I hope they realise before they pay


    I have come across this before LOL! but it did let me email them so fingers crossed!

    could be a savvy buyer. How exactly is the seller going to prove delivery if the buyer pays with paypal?

    Win auction, pay with paypal, get res number and a week later file an item not received. Unless seller is smart enough to send a recorded envelope :)

    Except the resevation ran out 5 ish hours before the auction ended
    and more than likely to have been reserved by someone else unless they were quick to re-reserve.

    Possibly, be interesting to watch the feedback for a day or two!
  • Reservation expiring before auction ending and being won by someone in Nottinghamshire without a hope of getting anywhere a Scottish Argos in time - all very odd.

    Does anyone have a disposable account to let the buyer know, as they have a score of 509 and 99.4% feedback and don't really deserve this


    If buyers don't read auctions properly who are we to point out that they are TSFE? Someone as experienced as that should know better.

    The reservation number ran out before the auction ended, so the item for sale did not exist at the end of the auction. Unless the seller re-reserved it.

  • I've seen people pay more for an ebay item than it would cost new in the shops, so nothing surprises me on this.
