Yesterday i won this volvo on ebay. I've sent the seller four emails but had no responce, I've also tried his mobile but its been switched off since yesterday. Am i just being impatient or does anyone else think this is a bit off? He has 0 feedback and has only been registered since the end of april so he's got nothing to loose by getting a neg. I really wanted this car but now I'm starting to wonder if its worth the bother, how long do i have to wait before i can tell him b*ll*cks?

I think it sounds iffy If I'd just sold a car I would make sure the buyer could contact me. I'd still give it a few days to be sure before negging him though

same thing happened to me, the seller contacted me after two days explaining his difficulties and i picked the car up no problem

I'd hang on a short while, Not unusual for people to go on hols or summat, or get a knackered computer, etc etc.
You should of bid with conditions like the sellers do 'if you have less than 5 feedbacks please email me back with a land line number'! ;D
Good luck.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

I wouldn't worry too much just yet - I'd give it a few days. I hope you get it - Volvodom is the future!

number of times i've flogged tat on the bay then realised that i'm nowhere near a computer once the auction ends.... you've lost nothing if he never answers, you've not paid him a dime so just sit back and chill

Never trust a man Who names himself Trevor. Or one day you might find He's not a real drug dealer.

I won an engine and gearbox two days before going on hol, guy said he wanted a deposit sent before I went but his address wasn't on ebay and he didn't send it in email, I left it in the hands of a mate who had about as much success as me. When I got back I sent an email (over 2 weeks after auction end) and he rang me that eve arranging collection for the following weekend. Don't worry....yet.

I guess your all right, I was getting a little impatient but i just had a dodgy feeling about something and whats happened today hasnt really made me feel any better.
I got an email from the guy first thing this morning saying he'd been away at the weekend and he'd ring me later. I spoke to him at 3 o'clock and arranged to go pick it up tomorrow night. Only set back is the cars now in watford so i'd have to find a way of getting up there. Anyway, theres me feeling all happy again and trying to ponce a lift to watford off a few lorry drivers when he rings me back about half hour later. Aparently he's taken the car out and it's broken down. Just cut out and now it wont start so he's going to get a mechanic out to have a look. Now maybe i'm not a very trusting person but it just all seems a little bit too convenient to me. I'm thinking that either, A) He's already sold the car and is just trying to put me off. Or B) The car didnt make what he wanted so its gonna suddenly develope some kind of incredible fault thats gonna cost a couple of hundred notes to put right and maybe i could do the decent thing and meet him half way on the price.
Either way we'll see what happens when (if) he rings me back tonight. He doesnt know i'm a mechanic so if he does try to spin me a yarn about worn giggle pins or something at least i'll know who i'm dealing with.

option a, NEG if option b is his plan, call his bluff and say you'll take it as is, without him having to spend any money. if he is being a coniving barsteward this will throw his game plan sideways. if hes a tw@t follow hairnets advice and neg his a$$.

I don't think a neg will make any difference as he's got zero feedback anyway. Thats another reason i'm so suspicious.

sounds well sus. Play the game I say. Go up there yourself and have a look at the 'fault' if you think he's taking the p1ss.

WTF is he doing driving your car? now its sold he has probably been thrashing f*** out of it.
take some tools and a helper, probably something simple, if there is anything at all.

Who the hell wants the hassle of a trip all the way to Watford just to find out that the guy's some time wasting cock knocker!
Big it. Reach for the extra large party sized tin of industrial strength neg ass and open a whole six pack on him!

Hmm smells a bit fishy... I'd call his bluff and see what happens. It looks a cracking car. If he tries to pull the wool over your eyes about a broken static CROWN-sprocket spline relay, knock some cash off to "fix" it just for being a tit.
