      I was selling some Hellblazer comics on ebay (still got some for sale if anyone is into that). Now these comics were going for about £5-£20 , and mostly no problems , but did get th eoccasional idiot who would win then never pay. One saying he had not had confirmation emails or had put the payment in the post. Just because it's a faceless process people think they can take the p1ss. In the end I gave up because it wasn't worth the bother.

      The complaint procedure is sh1t and easily navigated by the fraudsters

      The place seems to be full of shysters and oportunists especially if you look at the motors. I bet you over 10% are cut n' shut. It's not surprising the rip off merchants love it, buying things without seeing them is a charter to rip people off.

      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Darnyarn, you mention that tells you he can get a receipt etc, how did you communicate with him, via phone or email? If email, you already have some proof he's a dishonest prat. I'd feel just as aggrieved as you.

          Can you put a link the the ebay item here and see what the consensus is?

            you noddies make I laugh,

            I bet you lot bid on cars on ebay without visiting them in person with a mechanic and doing the hpi checks

            you get what you deserve,

            what is it, a fool and his money

            if something is too good to be true that's because it is

                  No.
                  He said it was new.
                  I paid a fair price.
                  He is a liar.
                  He should not get away with it.

                  Milan, you appear to be a prat. I take it you always dive in with, meaningless worthless comments?

                    when the opportunity presents itself yes

                    which happens to be often around here


                    I want my money back, he said it was new,
                    I was too tight to buy it from a reputable source,
                    will I learn from this I doubt it, have I made mistakes
                    like this before I expect so

                      4 posts and he has got it sussed, almost a record!
                      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                      The original point and click interface by
                      Smith and Wesson.

                      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
