eBay

So how much did the tickets go for in the end Arthur?

I'm guessing quite a few people on here are eBay users?

Do you understand the concept of how an auction works?

I'm selling some tickets for Groove Armada on Saturday and I've had 3 people email me with offers for them despite the fact that I didn't set a buy it now price for them.

One guy offered me a pathetic amount which I of course refused pointing out that another auction was currently going at £20 more than his offer with 3 hours still to go. To which he replied accusing me of selling the same tickets under two different usernames.

And whilst I type I get another email asking if I'm willing to split the tickets!

I give up, the world is full of fucktards!

I can get standing tickets for £40 each from a local lad. So, that should give you an idea of how much they are worth.

eBay is great when it runs smoothly but if anything goes wrong eBay and Paypal are little or no use.

Ebay fucks me off because I've sent 2 items and the people have claimed not to have received them when the probably have so either they lie and get free items or the Royal Mail is losing everything. The first guy was an absolute kunt about it so I gave a refund as it was only a tenner. This next guy also wants a refund but im not sure what to do . . .

Did you even get 'proof of postage'? If you did THAT, the postal service themselves, will refund you up to £34,on everyday mail. Registered is insured up to £500. Recorded would have only cost 75 extra- which you can put into the postage that the BUYER pays.

So I can claim from the Royal Mail?

In future I will always offer Recorded and if they don't want it - no refunds.

Ebay's feedback system is flawed in that most sellers will only leave +ve feedback after the buyer has left them +ve feedback. On the 2 occasions I have (justifiably) left a seller -ve feedback, they've retaliated by leaving -ve feedback on my profile.

Thats exactly what I do

Don't think "no refunds" is allowed on eBay, its your responsibility to make sure the item gets delivered no matter what.

You could offer recorded delivery or no sale, as some people do.

Thats what i do now.Ive had my fingers burnt a couple of times.

I sent an item to Portugal.after about 3 weeks i got an email from pay pal saying he had not received it and had reported it.He escalated it instantly for a claim(without even giving me chance to reply).All of a sudden he had 4 negative strikes in a row which did not include one from me and then he went private with his feedback.It was just so obvious he had stiched us all up at the same time by saying he had not received the items.Guess what,Pay pal went in his favour just because i never had a tracking number and they took the money out of my account.

Some fucktard sold me an "alleged" Samsung MP3 that was not but got my money back as it was a cheap Chinese version.

Paypal stuck up for me but Ebay took no responsibility at all.

 

[SNOOBS]

Well the person received the item and left me feedback finally

You know they're the same company, right?

Yep but Ebay said Paypal must sort it out

Send everything by Recorded Delivery in future.

Wrong,

you need to send it SPECIAL delivery. Recorded just mean it needs a signature IF it makes it to its intended recipient. If they lose it, you're just f***ed.

Mate of mine is £140 down due to Royal Mail pulling this one on him having lost his "recorded" delivery.
