Semantics

Yep oztion is crap as the market place has ebay on there minds...

Mind you.. i'm about to list some stuff on oztion....

End of the day, a bloke from melton bought the Stage 1 and i got less than i wanted, but its sold and i can get rid of some of the crap i have.

Hey don't get me wrong but it's a two way street in inet auctions. A mate of mine desperately wanted a new outboard motor that he was bidding on on flea bay. He genuinely won it, then came the time to pay for it the seller tells him " oh i don't have it anymore my wife sold it already " what a knob. anyway ended up getting anither one but at a lot greater cost.

You get jerked around everywhere, no matter what method you use to sell something. So far two people have pulled out of the purchase of my 4BD1 engine after agreeing a price, following lots of emails, phone calls and so on.

The most pathetic one said "My wife won't let me buy it". Even if it's true, why would you admit that? Surely it would be less humiliating to say you've taken up knitting instead, or have just been arrested for exposing yourself in public and will have to use the money to pay for a lawyer.

It also happens when you're trying to buy something. Last year I agreed to buy a Land Rover, got the cash and had a mate lined up to drive about 4 hours to get it. I called the bloke just before I left home and he said he'd forgotten that a guy from Sydney was interested and felt morally obliged to call him first. I never heard from him again.

I had a problem with a seller a while back.

I bought a trailer from a bloke up near my Dads place and the miniute I won I msg'd that I would have it picked up within 2 or 3 days and how would he prefer to be payed.

He said that cash would be fine but he was leaving for work away from home for several weeks and it could be picked up after that which was fine for me and so I organised him to call my old man to organise it instead of being the third party myself.

About a week later we recieved negative feedback as a non payer so I rang him and he told me that he hadnt heard from my old man and he was back from work and wanted it picked up.

I explained that he was meant to call my dad and he then said oh yeah I remember now and so removed the negative feed back.

I organised to have it picked up a day or 2 later and he again wasnt home so my dad rang him each time he went up there for the next week or so until they could meet up.

It was one of the most frustrating things Ive had to go through, but all is well in the end.
