I have had a real bad run of ebay time wasters, I have sold my Hilux twice now and the first time I was away and I responded to the bloke the next day and he said it had been 3-4 days and he could not wait so he bought another car??
The second guy sent me 2 offers over a week apart and I finally accepted and not a word???
I sold some stage truss and no contact...... I mean far out what is up with these people.
I bought a set of tyres and within an hour of having them fitted 2 went flat and when I put in a claim paypal ruled against me?? luckily after much battling I got the seller to refund me all my money.
All the items that I did sell I welcomed inspection and not one person has viewed them but it does not stop them from pressing the buy it now button... grrhh frustrating

I feel your pain lol i have had more non paying bidders on ebay then ever before and it has only been with patrol parts.
I just put in the non paying bidder crud and go through the process they get an unpaid item strike wich is ridiculous .

I know mate, I know...
It's just a wrath of dishonest and dodgy people now. It's a shame that Ebay just controls the online trading these days.
Gumtree started to show some popularity and then Ebay bought it...LMAO....Gumtree is worse than Ebay as there is no control.
If I had money and no job I would start my own Ebay just for Australia....lol

Yeah the problem with these sites is people won't take the risk on doing an auction with a low price or no reserve so the site becomes stagnant, kind of like Trading Post when they tried the Auctions.
So your lift with pretty much just another online trading company with for sale items only.
Gumtree would of being a winner if Ebay didn't snap it up.

it should be a contract if you bid so you get no false bids that forces you to go ahead with the purchase unless you have special circumstances like that 2yr old that bought a house on his mums account haha

Sending sympathy your way Bloodyaussie! I drive a desk for work, most of the time, and years ago i chipped a bit like a finger nail clipping off my ankle. Could barely see it on the x-ray. I stupidly filled in the paperwork - the result was that I had to stay at home and drive the lounge for 6 weeks. Was ok for about the first week, struggling on the second, Boring Boring Boring.
I couldn't make them accept that being at work in a chair and at home was just the same...........(hmmmmmm maybe they were happy to keep me away :-0 )

Second online chat with ebay and it does nothing but waste my time and adds to the frustration.
I do have these poeples address's and should maybe post them online as big time wasting losers!!!!!
No Andy no Days of our lives, I have pay tv and sick kids so its abc for kids or the discovery channel..

this is going to make me sound old but its the new generation. They think they can do what they want, dont give a shlt and want everything done for them.
