Ebay Arsehats
on: September 28, 2014, 06:57:36 PM
I'm having a bit of a clear out at the moment, mainly baby stuff, so I list two items and set a reserve of £30. both of these would cost £200 if you bought them new.

The message I just got was "how much do you want for item X"

errr, it's a job lot and it's an auction, smurf off!  :twak:

ebay has gone to crap.  You used to be able to get really good deals on good used items, but not so much anymore.  :rant:

Yeah ebay has gone down the toilet as both buyer and seller. The global scamming program made buying anything from us not worthwhile, and I'm hesitant on selling even though I want to slim down my knife collection for years.
