I know a few people have had these recently and it seems I may be next so I had look at the ebay dispute thing.

They list the steps, starting with this:

with diagrams and the last one in the series says it all - pair of c*cks if I'm not mistaken!

It's another change of policy - if you use the dispute thing your gonna get pissed on ?

I've got a dispute going on at the moment. Well it's not really a dispute, just that the guy who bid the most for the engine I was selling doesn't seem to have the time to come and collect it (and pay me for it).

We had a discussion about it on the telephone. He tells me "I'm not trying to mess you about, I'll pay you half now on Paypal and the rest when I pick it up" which he has already told me won't be for at least (another) week.

Fortunately the chaps here have enlightened me to the perils of Paypal, so I thanked him for his kind offeer and told him to f*** off

I 'm in the middle of another ebay disaster.

Bought an item for my tin-top from a trader in Germany. Paid £450.

Never arrived despite so many promises that it had been dispatched. Raised a dispute and it eventually arrived 3 months later! The postmark on the package indicated that it had been sent only 2 days before I received it!

Anyway - turns out the item never worked! I told eBay about it, so they cancel the 'not received' dispute and tell me to file a 'not as described' dispute. I do that immediately, but then they tell me that the time limit has elapsed for raising a new dispute... HELLOOOOOO!

Told the Vendor I was sending it back, so spent £40 on insured postage. The tracking details tell me that the vendor has refused to sign for it.

He won't reply to my emails now!

Brilliant, so I'm now £490 down!

no coincidence it took 3 months to arrive then

I just don't get it... why can people be such shits?

I recently sold a small block chevy at what I thought was a bargain £2k (I originally bought it from a locost kit manufacturer as part of a package after being told it was 'worth' £4k - certainly had all the right components on it to indicate such a value).

Turns out that when the guy got it he stripped it down and found the internals were wrecked. Fair enough... re-negotiated the price and we settled at £500 for him to keep it.

Incidentally, I spoke with the locost kit manufacturer who sold me the engine originally and guess what... although he knew it had come from a written off car, he wasn't interested - "sold as seen", blah, blah, blah.

I'm fed up with being continually shafted and it's getting to the point where I wonder whether I should just adopt the same head in the sand tactics as all the other chancers out there!

Grrrr!

Name the kit car manufacturer, I would, stick it on every forum possible that's the very least I would do
