This why I only do cash on collectionEbay's ok when you are the buyer.

I dont think its the same with a car as its a classified ad.
Certainly is....I asked a seller for his contact info so I could go and see the car. Apparently that was against the rules....I asked them (via on line chat) what I was meant to do. Apparently buy the car completely blind and then check it matches the description when I arrive to pick it up!
Yea right...no thanks!
but I think they said classified ads are exempt
As i said classified adds are exempt.Maybe...definitely auctions are covered....they pretty much monitor every email too of course. I rarely sell anything on eBay these days....they sucker you in with their low listing fees....then clobber you with the auction fee on the final price....I seem to lose 20% of the final price!
My selling limit is now £40....if the item is worth less than £40 then I stick it on gumtree or just give it to a friend who does charity car boot sales!
exactly....Ive had them claim items were broken on receipt yet they couldnt take photos....claimed on ebay and got a refund......
I feel sorry for anyone who makes a living running an ebay business....it must be constant hassle with them changing stuff.
Anyone know of alternatives to ebay....I'm guessing they must be out there....just not as well know?
Drove 35 miles at 8am this morning to meet a buyer for a machine i had...no show...i then rushed back the house from a lunch outing with the missus at 2pm to meet another buyer for another item...no show. So that's 2 items bid on and 2 no shows I love Ebay too.
Bought a Damascus steel knife blank from a seller in India.
I think that's where you went wrong mate....I've never seen a quality object from that country on ebay. Do yourself a favour and stick to European'ish smiths, there are umpteen Nordic blacksmiths making proper quality damascus blanks, you can find them online.
fee pre-arranged...only heads up with ebay is feedback as a seller and if that fails then your stabbing in the darknot teaching you how to suck eggs but isnt the buyer supposed to come to you to collect ? alarm bells would have been ringing for me as soon as the potential timewaster was asking me to deliver, unless of course you had offered to deliver
