I see that someone on ebay was selling a calculator for 99p and wanted people to do a local pick up for it!
I am wary of offering pick-up as an option. How do you know they're not going to be carrying a baseball bat?

It was someone using another account and wanted to have a go at me simply because I told him he was charging too much for something. It just shows the mentalitiy of some people in the world - how childish can you get? I've reported it to ebay but I don't know if they'll remove the bad feedback. Before this my feedback was 100%. And I doubt they will realise that it was someone with two accounts, even though I have plenty of evidence to point the finger.

oh, the bastard! i live in fear of losing my 100% to someone like that every day.

Last night I got a message from the person who used a fake account to give me negative feedback, saying he will report ME to ebay for accusing him of doing it (I mentioned when I left bad feedback to his fake account that it was him, and then he changed his seller name!)

Has anyone ever done any commission selling? I've been approached by someone today and I'm not sure what to do.
I think ebay has a rule against that and you can report them. I had someone message me last week promoting his website and reported it.
Do you really sell collectibles for geeks lou? What sort? I'm always on the look out for old VHS horror tapes as some can go for a lot of money.

This bloke has 43 negatives which I think is quite a lot - but then again, that's out of about 4500.

My bad feedback for them was also removed, so this means they can just carry on using that account.

I personally avoid those who hide their feedback. If they hide it then they obviously have something to hide. We were selling a car and we had a member who bidded on it. about 30mins before the auction was due to end he sent us a message saying he had bidded on the wrong item, and could we react the bid. At the time I didn't know how to and so I just waited.
When the auction finished there was no more bids and his was the winning bid. I sent via ebay a non payment which if he had clicked on that he had agreed not to purchase the item we would of been reimburesed with our losses (about £30) but because the prat clicked on he had agreed to purchase the item we are now out of pocket of £30. ebay say that there is nothing they can do.
Apparently he did it again with somebody else and no his feedback is private.

Good news on this - eBay have just announced they are restricting the use of private feedback. From now on you cannot list items for sale if you keep your feedback private (although you can still bid on auctions). I personally think the option should be removed altogether, but this is better than nothing.

Well that's better than nothing. Post by: loulou on November 02, 2006, 12:16:04 am

I was watching three shirts this week - only Topman and Next, nothing designer - and they went from £7 to £15!!! I was stunned. All three are still in the shops as far as I know; you could probably buy them for less new in the sales!
I see a lot of stuff go for good prices but then wonder if the winner pays up. Lately when any of my stuff goes for a good price the winner will wait a few days then tell me they bid by mistake.
