I messaged someone breaking a MK3 Golf about some headlights. Wanted to know how much they would sell them for, here's how the conversation has panned out:
Me:
Hi mate,
Few things. Are the headlights standard GTI headlights? Are they in good condition and are all adjusters working (I need them for an MOT).
How much delivered?
Let me know please mate.
Regards
Kirk
Them:
yes please supply number
Me:
How much for the headlights please?
Them:
yes please supply number
[That was the second time it was asked for]
Me:
I'd rather not, thanks.
Them:
THEN ID RATHER NOT DEAL WITH YOU
Me:
For someone who is clearly new to using eBay you sure know how to make potential buyer's not want to deal with you.
A word of advice:
I do not wish to give you my number as I would rather deal with any sale through eBay from someone with as little feedback as yourself. I won't be the only who thinks like this as it provides security in the sale.
There is absolutely no need for any buyer to give you, the seller, their number under these circumstances.
Think about that before you throw your toys out the pram with your next potential buyer.
Good luck with the sale.
Them:
A word of advice,go away and waste someone elses time you retard
Me:
Wow, so even though you were initally rude to me and I tried to help by giving some advice you go ahead and insult me like that?
I will be reporting you to eBay now.
Unacceptable for a seller to demand a phone number, it's against the rules and to also be so rude and offensive is down right ignorant.
[From this point on, I haven't responded.]
Them:
i bet when i demanded a phone number (retard) thats why i called it you as your comments were retarded,did i use threatening text as well,grow up for gods sake
Them:
get a job you are a timewaster,typical stereotype,bet you were bullied at school
Them:
if i wanted advice i would not go to you,thats why im as you say rude,go belittle someone else i have not got the time,now how much do you want to pay for lights as they will be auctioned, now i will report you for trying to buy out of ebays terms and conditions
Can you believe it? :grin: Those last 4 message in the space of 10 minutes. He only has 3 feedback.
I've met some nutters on eBay but this is completely bonkers.
-
All makes very little sense. Laughable. Some ebayers are clueless!
-
I'd def report them
-
I'd def report them
I definitely am doing that. I've never had to report anyone before as I feel you can usually get the buyer / seller to come around to your way of thinking if you don't come across like a dick to them, but even with me saying what I did he just acted like a complete tool.

Some? Try 85% of them. :grin:
-
Link to the headlights? I want a bit of this action :evil:
-
We're they definitely after you phone number and not a part number?
-

I think it was very clear I was asking for headlights, and judging by the guys responses, he wouldn't know what a part number was.
The way I see it is he wanted to get my number to arrange an out of eBay deal.
No thanks.
-
I wouldn't entertain anyone on ebay with little feedback. Not worth the hassle.
I'm sure I have a set of headlamps. PM me your number please lol :grin:

Item number 271240261917

How odd, i've in fact spoken to guy through eBay about a week ago about the BBS wheels he was selling and was pretty helpful and added more photos when I asked him to. :undecided:
-
Really? So what did I do that was so wrong?
-
There must be something wrong with this guy, I haven't responded to any of the last few messages and I just received this:
"I suppose it's like telling a teacher or something along those lines, why don't you just man up?"
:grin: :grin:
WTF?!
-
He's clearly having a mental breakdown. :laugh:
-
mental breakdown... No
googled shady.... Yes :grin:
-
I've just messaged him this:
Hi mate,
Just got a couple of quick questions...are the headlights standard GTI headlights or after market ones? Do the adjusters work? No cracks or damage?
How much delivered?
Thanks
Let's see what he says :grin:
-
:grin:
Please post his response.
-
He was quite odd to me as well. When I asked for more pics of the wheels he told me he can't as they are still on the car and if I wanted to see them I would have to see them in person :grin:
-
O.....M.....Actual G :grin:
