reet, first time I've sold a car of the bay of e's and it the buy it now was clicked within 5-10 mins of it going live :shocked:
The winner messaged me to ask for my number, I sent it too him and he said he will call in the morning. No call yet, but its not the end of the day yet and some people are busy, but I've put in the advert deposit required by paypal within 24 hours of auction ending which he has not done yet. His feedback is anything but good, lots of mixed reviews some saying no communication, time waster etc etc this dude is based in South Yorkshire.
Someone else who was obviously looking at the car when the Winner 'bought' it, messaged me saying he'll give me £400 more for it, obviously that's a better deal and they're in Oxford too and would like the car today for cash. Lovely jubbly.
So if they winner hasn't given me the deposit within the time frame I had in the advert am I within my rights to refuse his purchase and let this other guy buy it? If it weren't for my morals I'd dump the winner and go straight to the Oxford based person, with only 3 feedback, but I've got to give the winner a chance haven't I?
What would you do?
Am I allowed to f@rk off the winner at all, due to the other bad feedback I can see?
tia for any advice.
-
No.
What you should have done is put "car is advertised elsewhere, I retain the right to end the auction without notice" etc...
You'll have to wait 24 hrs.
-
The winner hasnt done what you asked him to, aka a deposit. Sack him off, get your complaint report in first too (or ebay will auto bum you for 30 days before you can do owt). Sell to the local man :smiley:
-
Message the first guy telling him you've crashed it, then sell it to the Oxford buyer.
-
I'd wait until the 24 hours are up and sell it to the bloke in Oxford, send the original buyer a message stating that he didn't pay the deposit in the required time and subsequently the car has been bought by someone else.
Where in S.Yorks is the original buyer based?
-
I wouldn't mess with a northerner :grin:
And wtf u buying now :lipsrsealed:
-
You've clearly stated that a deposit is required within 24 hours of the listing ending. Therefore if this is not complied with then you are entitled to sell the car to someone else. But it must be 24 hours from when the listing ended so unfortunately this may mean you miss you're chance with the second buyer, unless he can wait one more day.
:smiley:
-
Dont crash it as he may still want to buy it and that will cause u grief instead give him the 24 hours fair chance and that then sell it to the other guy and cancel your item on eBay with the option of item
no longer available he then has 30 days to accept it therefore eBay will cancel it thus far refunding the final value fee if he won't accept the cancelation then put a complaint in to eBay that he did not follow the instructions of purchase there for he forfeited the right to buy and they shall cancel it
Be ware both eBay and PayPal are of the masterbation category and are only in it for profit if they decided to be awkward don't hesitate to call them failing that always sen letters recorded by the royal mail making 2 copy's one for your reference
Hope this helps

So Jay how much goes to Egay?

didn't do that, thought about it afterwards and went to edit it but it was bought!
Not sure where in S. Yorkshire, Dom that's all it says.
And wtf u buying now :lipsrsealed:
PM incoming :wink:
Looking at some of the 'good' feed back it seems a bit of a scam to raise his profile, 6 cars bought in the last month, 3 of which from the same ebay user? hmmm, following those and reading their feedback this person he's bought from seems to be Polish and a scammer according to the comments :undecided:
The Oxford person wants the car today, presumably because the tax runs out after tomorrow :undecided:
-
Like said above wait the 24 hours and if no comms is made then sell it to the other boy. If i'm seeling a car on BIN I usually ask for contact to be made before clicking the button to ensure the genuity of the possible buyer. Far too many timewasters on the bay who do not know the rules. I'm sure your hoping they don't get in touch because if they do you are legally obligated to sell it too them.
-
I sold my beemer a week last monday... he rang me the day after winning it all seemed genuine. Waited the 6days he said he can only pick up only to be fobbed off!
Go the correct routes of filing a report against him so you get your listing price back and dont get surcharge you get when selling!
Oh and and extra £400! get on that boat :cool:
-
For an extra £400 I would put 6 months tax on for him, and go down the proper route of waiting 24 hours with the original buyer. Can't say fairer than that, and you'll still be about £275 up!
-
called to sus him out, another foreigner, I asked if it was Jerry (his name he gave, certainly didn't sound like a Jerry to me) and immediately asked "Who is this??!", said who I was and seemed unaware of what I was on about, then asked "What?" after a moments silence, I repeated myself and then "uhhh .... oh yeah. Can I come down?"
Seemed a little dodgy so (bottled it) hung up :grin:
After having it listed it elsewhere and having f#ckers similar to that contact me it gets really annoying and puts you off :sad:
and why offer so much more? :undecided:

Relisted 15 minutes ago, some bloke called Sam is coming from Milton Keynes NOW to have a look :undecided: Got my number from ebay. Reckons he'll be here by 9:30. sh!tting myself a bit tbh
f**k*rs, someone else called form Milton Keynes with the same accent wanting to know how much I want for it - The Sam guy has the same accent as Sam from Gumtree that said it was his brother in law or some crap that had emailed me, not him :rolleyes:

Don't worry dude, I'm a foreigner and I usually put a thick accent when I talk with other people, I once went to see a car at 8 but there was an accident and didn't get there till 10pm so the bloke must have thought I'm mental...
-
I'm foreign too and have nothing against anyone that is foreign, it's just these guys that give others a bad name and eventually people do as I do and discriminate unfortunately.

It will be hidden on your profile somwhere, whats your ebay name? PM me if you want, I cant remeber where it is hidden but I usually track it down if its there.
-
another one, similarish accent, told him where to go before he could ask any questions and told him to tell Sam not to bother coming the car isn't for sale anymore.
"But I'm from London"
Does that make the slightest difference ? No, I didn't even say where the other callers were from.
Unplugging my phone now.

sorry but

Talking about buying a car in the dark...
A friend of mind sold his S3. We ended up meeting the buyer half way.
So there's us two and 4 very - how can I put this - lethal looking, but very nice, Black gentlemen from London, counting out £15K in cash at the restaurant at Leigh Dalamare Services.
The looks we got from the staff and fellow diners.... :grin:

I would have bricked it then! You can just imagine 4 big ass black fellas from 'landan' walking towards you in a dim car park! :grin:

Mini van which would be worth a fortune now
-
so jay, sold it yet :grin: and get a good price ?
-

That's against ebay rules.
Anyway, given his feedback and not calling when he said he would, I'd f**k him off and take the extra £400.
-
so jay, sold it yet :grin: and get a good price ?
Nope, still got it :sad: Don't want to put it on ebay again and have f@ck wits calling me at 9:30pm getting my info from ebay BEFORE they purchased the item!
-
gumtree it and try pre loved or was it pre abused? :undecided:
-
Tried Gumtree, the SAME scammers tried it on there - i recognized their voices. Had one genuine local person contact me on Gumtree, they didn't want to pay what I was asking because his wife didn't have that much to spend.
-
Jeez I didn't think it was that hard to sell a bloody car Jay!
In my old day :laugh: you had cash, went to see the money pit, haggled a few quid and shook hands! :rolleyes:
-
tbh those c#nts put me off listing it anywhere now after being stung twice by the same dipsh!ts I cba now :grin: I'll get round to it...
-
Yeah call it a day, until new year just not Jan when everyone is skint!
-
I wouldn't mess with a northerner :grin:
