As we all do, I deal quite widely on ebay and on the whole don't have a lot of grief, but what grief I do have is always trainers/ sneakers related.
Photo gear - no problem, always cordial, decent folk.
Bike gear - at worst tight, at best friendly and often turn out to know some of the same people.
But bloody trainers. Got another one today. Asking if I can contact the guy that has broken into his ebay account and sort out ith him why he has robbed him of funds and sort it out for him.
Every other trainer sale (I should say I have a Nike collection of hideous shoes from the heyday in the mid nineties), just turns into a frankly poor attempt at conning money/ shoes out of you.
So, here we go again. When they've all gone, I'll be glad to never deal with trainer folk again. (no offence to the odd decent one I have dealt with here and there).
Rant over (or at least postponed until the next garbled email I receieve from matey).
