Well Ebay gets worse and worse in my opinion, bidded on this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330010630630&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014

Won the item fair and square yet he refused to sell to me as he wanted more for it, I am seeing this more and more

What would you do about it if this happened to you ? Other than the negative feedback I left, after he left positive for me of course 

[mix]

get his contact address and go round there a give him the toe-in he deserves....

Or report him to ebay as you have actually legally brought the car off of him (think it is in the terms and conditions somewhere, could be wrong though)

Ebay wont really do anything tbh, they cant make someone sell something if they dont want to when the auction has finished if money has been exchanged then they will try and get the money back (eg paypal) but thats it really.

Report the seller to ebay. Bout all you can do really. The mong should have put a reserve if he wanted more that 1k for it.

Well I have decided to take it as far as I can as I am peed off with this, similar thing happened when I agreed to buy this Mark 2 in June -

Paid the deposit etc, then he would not sell to me 

Will report the item not received and go from there, ah well I ruined his 100% feedback at least - Damn Gimp.

P.S what ya think of the golf in my sig, that was from Ebay too

its disgusting! put no reserve then moan when its not enough! Same thing happened to my mate, and he took it to a small claims court, and got  the car plus £3k compensation. The guy didnt have a leg to stand on, mak sure you print out as much info as you can, e.g. wining and payment info.

The company my mate used were 100% free, they claim ALL of their costs from the other company, win or lose as they told him he was in a similar situation to that of being a 3rd party in a car crash.

I did not pay him anything as was going to pay in full when collected (to avoid him paying Paypal fees too, always thinking of other me heheh  )

Do you think this will make a difference ?

[ChrisO GolfO]

Angers me when they do things like that... A reserve bid should have been put on it... And I think Ebay can give like a warning to the user its summit like 3 times and your account gets deactivated but at the end of it all it leaves a sour taste in the mouth because the ebay experience puts people off. I still use it but I prefer going over to collect whatever items i want and paying in cash.

Your Mk2 is nice man... I got one in the same colour and style but missing the 17's

Did you have to have arch work done?

[Gozza]

Car is still as I bought from Ebay bar the delocked door handles, front arches have been removed completely and rears hacked about too. Does not rub at all though which is nice and lowered about 60mm I would think. Not only that but the thing absolutely flys, has uprated cams I am led to believe

[Uruk Hai]

*han* I'd be very interested to hear more details about that case as a lot of the solicitors that I know wont touch this sort of thing anymore as its a legal minefield !
