Another eBay Seller Description Disappoints Me and Ruins Today

[JohnK]

And also, far too often with eBay, buyers get the 'it's a binding contract mate' thrown at them by sellers.

 

Yes mate whatever, but I agreed to pay £1000 for the car as described, not one with hundreds of picky bits you could have mentioned in the ad.

 

Inevitably these sellers will refuse to adjust the price to suit as well.

If you want, I have people can take care of this person for you.

 

I didn't know John Inman was on this forum.

 

Are you free?

To be fair, more often than not the story happened to me the other way around. I duly and meticulously mentioned each and every fault in my listing and that the car is a non runner requiring a complete restoration and needs to be trailered away, and the stupid analphabetic high bidder turns up with a muggle buddy in a small car and accuses me of misrepresenting the car and whacks me with negative feedback. In fact, I had this so often, that I'm now procrastinating to list anything I have for sale as good as I can, because I am sick and tired of dealing with these solid rubber brains out there.

They are the same people who watch sofa ads and go down the shop with two hundred sovs in their pocket and expect a bespoke Chesterfield. Not that it matters if that's what they go get - it will still be in a skip next Christmas.
