Ive got a potential
Probably lurks on here and the other forums
Story goes-
I was selling a hope trials caliper a few months ago and got a message from an ebayer asking if i would ship it abroad.
No says i and wondering why anyone other than UK would see it as it have the exclusions on
But no says I.
Auction ends and its won by some guy that had joined ebay that very day and had zero feedback.
Im just about to write the address on the jiffy when i think its a little odd so i google it.
Comes back as a shipping company who according to the details given to me by the buyer comes back as being from the original guy that emailed me in the first place so what he did was formed another ebay user,listed as being in the UK :shock:
He really wants this caliper. But he isnt getting it because im now convinced its a scam and my caliper would go walkabout somewhere in eastern EU and being outwith the original postal service(royal mail) id be snookered trying to cross language barriers trying to track it down
Im probably have to refund him then sue this shipping-on company for the item cost and as he was the user of that theres no guarantee it had tracking or insurance :? or that they would deal with me
I decided not to send it, but also to ignore any correspondence from him so he would have to wait the maximum time and use ebay/paypal to get his money back.
Ebay were informed of this attempted sneaky circumnavigation and i mailed them again to follow it up and make doubly sure they understood the full connotations as to was was being attempted.
Ebay assured me that they fully understood and that action was taken though they noted that they couldnt say what that action was.
I left it at that.
A few months have passed and ive relisted it. As spares or repairs
Ahh, a query about it
HE'S BACK :shock: :shock:
Telling me i could list it under Used instead of spares/repairs
I tell him where to go and how to get there
He mails back asking why im upset, he was only trying to help.
The may be trouble ahead
For all your info and to maybe avoid this weirdo but from experience he doesnt accept no for an answer
If anything im selling at the mo goes to anyone new or to a non domestic adress it isnt being sent and thats that.
Can i automatically block someone with lower than 10 feedback? In an attempt to prevent this clown forming a new user name ?
