Whats it worth?

Of course there are moderators......may i refer you to the sticky thats posted in the introduction section for a helpful guide to the forum
 
so what yer saying is you've put it on ebay not to sell but to get a swap?
now some poor smuck will be looking for a landy and bid on yours and as its ebay he wont be bidding on any others as he dint want bad feed back for not paying. Then he'll miss out on others he fancies because you then withdraw yer landy and not sell it to him.
and you think this is ok and up front?
i think its deceitful and lying and not a very nice thing to do.

look at it from the other side. say you really did want to sell it and some punter was to bid £1875 for it, then decided he dint want it anymore.
would you then say "oh! ok no worries mate, i'll just relist it"

somehow i don't think yer would
 
Never really thought of it that way and now i have i'll agree it is wrong. Lots of people do this but it doesnt make it right. If i was offered the right money i would have probs sold it yes. But pretty much every vehicle on there has "I reserve the right to end the auction early" in there. Do you give people stick for this? From what your saying, if poeple use ebay they should be advertising anywhere else?

And yes i would relist if that was to happen. Why would you think i wouldnt? And tbh i wouldnt sell it to anyone if they hadnt come to view and drive it first.
 
Maybe if they'd come to view it first then yeah course i'd be upset yeah. Its all irrelevant anyway as she's staying. :D

I just dont understand how you've all run a mile with this...lol

Yes I report every one I see. It's a breach of ebay rules, illegal to offer an item for auction and fraudualently alter the biddig price or the terms of the auction, and It's fooking annoying and ruins Ebay. If you bid on something you should be able to do so knowing that the highest bid will win that item. Not that some prick will pull it with an hour to go because he was too tight to pay the extra fee to set a reserve price.
 
Fair enough. Tbh ebay is crap nowadays anyway. Too many scammers etc. I just see it as advertising really as thats all anyone seems to be doing. Which is wrong i know.

Sean, yeah probably but i wouldnt want anyone to commit then come and see it and say about dents etc. I'd rather they knew exactly what theyre bidding on.

I just think this got a bit out of hand and i've started on the wrong foot. I do like landys, i'm not a scammer and it will be staying...lol

No they should make it compulsory.
or increase the fees and scrap the charge for putting a reserve price on it. But FFS it's only £10.

No scrap the reserve crap and make it cheaper to set your starting price....then everyone knows what you want to sell it for
 
i reckon that if sellers can withdraw the item then buyers should have the right to withdraw their bid without getting -ive feedback. but as their feed back system is bollocks as well yer just gotta take yer chances.

i recently got -ive feedback from a ****. i had asked him a question 4 times without reply so i left neutral feedback. he then threatened to leave -ive feedback for me unless i withdrew me neutral. needless to say i told him where to go. so i end up with -ive feedback bacause he dunt answer questions.
 
as fer the resever price .. whats the fooking point?
it snot like a real auction where the bidding starts and finishes within 10 mins or so. if yer dint wanna sell fer less than £500 then have yer start price as £500. dead easy and everyone know where yer at

dunt bother about it - the first -ve allways hurts yer feelings a bit, i'm on 98.4% after about 350 buys/sells and if peeps read the feedback it's clear it's the others at fault - ya just have to use the limited amount of space within the feedback box wisely

fook am not bothered . ah just think its bollocks.. i even had one **** leave -ive because as he says , 'i was getting a friend to push the price up'. he then emailed me to apologise and said he got carried away and over bid. but still its on there for others to see. so even if someone has -ive int dint mean yer onto a bad thing dealing with them. the problem is that
A/ folk that dint know better will assume yer a bad boy and you could lose a sale or even have a seller remove yer bid.
B/ you don't know for sure if the -ive feedback others have is justified.

so in summary its not worth the time it takes to fill in the ever expanding feedback page
