Right,
A while ago I had a set of Alpina wheels on ebay, basically someone met the reserve and won the auction, after this happened I had about 3 people email me saying this bloke is a scammer.
So I obviously didn't get the money and the bloke f*cked up my auction, but ebay have charged something like £13 odd. From your past experiences would this £13 be refundable? If so I'll email ebay, I just wanted to see if I've got a leg to stand on before I steam in...

Yeah you should get that back. If you go through the Non-Paying bidder channels they should put something in process. I've had to do it once but the guy coughed in the end.

What is it with ebay at the moment?
Quite recently it appears to be full of loonies! (Okay I know in reality it's just a minority but this 'minority' seems to have grown).

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

Ebay is FULL of TOTAL W4NKERS unfortunately, I’m afraid you have to accept that 10-20% of all your sales are going to go up the pipe due to indecision/wife finding out/western union scammers/folk who cant read yet/ blatant liars etc etc etc. However, the other side of the coin is that you don’t have to deal with any of these brain dead morons/members of the public face to face, thus making a 20% wastage rate quite a bargain if you ask me.

Talking of dodgy e-bay! How come everytime I buy a lovely low milage project that has never let anyone down and the mot is only just out, that normally the brakes lock on on the way home, explodes or falls to bits?
I once drunkenly bidded on a mk3 Transit on ebay, believing it to be about 30 miles away in Essex. I won the auction and to my surprise turned out to be in liverpool! Being the honest buyer I am I stuck by my bid, handed over my £300 then started my 350mile trip home. 15 Minutes into my journey smoke started pouring out of the engine bay as a brake pipe from the servo (Which had been replaced with garden hose pipe rather than steel) split and was pouring fluid over the exhaust manifold! You gotta love ebay.
