View Full Version : I Hate Ebay
Been watching a car for 9 days, it ends in 4 hours, and suddely 'THIS CAR IS SOLD, PLEASE DO NOT BID' appears on the listing.
His listing states..
Is being sold WITHOUT RESERVE, low starting and will go to the higher bidder.
OBVIOUSLY NOT.
Angry email coming up :mad:

Why do people end early??? Utterly Pointless.........
Give it a couple days and it will re-appear due to "non-paying bidder", ebay talk which translates to "its not selling for as much as I hoped, so I canned the auction and relisted it a couple days later".
Don't ebay have a time limit cut off for when auctions can be chopped?
Im quite pleased now lol, this ones a better colour, and has the petrol engine rather than the wheezy diesel, so when it breaks (which it will lol) i can fix it easily :)

Think its 24hrs before auction end IIRC
happened to me a couple of times and yes its fecking annoying

Not really pointless TBH, they may have received an offer far greater then what the item is worth in there eyes, or theyve realised it isnt going to sell for what they actually want for it.
I love eBay, i made a sheet load of money on there and got some real bargains too :D
yes 12hours or less remaining and they cant pull it. i'd still bid to be honest. still be entering into a legaly binding contract so effectivly he will still have to sell it to you lol

12hours Tom, if the 12hours have passed then you cannot at all remove/end auction early.

Citroen BX with some vauxhall badges glued on in an attempt to come across more German?
Jeeze, your all useless.
Another clue. You could lie under it to change the oil without jacking it up :)

lol, i think the sports look odd, plus the engines are too small. I wanted a TD, but this one's the 2.4i so should tow the nova (just) :wtf:
nice one Lee, i love these and there great fun to drive. You know you want to put a let in it tho :D

Yes it is :)
Bingorama lol
Yipee! lol
EDIT - on topic a little, the most annoying things I've found on eBay recently are the b@stards that wait right until the end and then outbid me by a frigging pound grrr...
It will make an excellent tent for PV as well lol
LET is a good idea, although if it blows up, a V6 would be nicer in this methinks :) Or a GM Diesel V8 :)

In that case I shall point you to >FOG (http://www.fronteraowners.co.uk/forums/index.php)<, some half crazy guy's on there, but they may laugh at it being a 2.4.
the 150bhp billion litre V8 from the hummer should do the trick :D

V8 diesel wins it for me!! :)

Im a nova enthusiast, i think I can take it lol
Better not venture over there anyway, ill end up running the fecking club :wtf:

Lol, it's a very good sorce of info, full of regular landy bashers too.
So how much did you end up paying Lee?
Really ebay should warn the seller about " This item is sold" as its against ebay rules.
I got a warning, and my item removed because i put "Item advertised elsewhere" on the auction, as thats also against the rules
lol, ive got no interest in green laneing TBH, ive only bought it to fit my tools in and tow the nova. I really want a Vito when funds allow it so this is just a stop gap TBH.
Price I paid for it, ill make plenty of money on it anyway ;)
Ad.. £250 with an MOT till September. Kerching :)

Dear oh Dear. You really are a sucker!
Ebay gets on my t1ts tbh. The fookin site has polluted every walking persons life with sh*t or misery some how.
The modified car world has more in common with Toys-R-Us than fast cars these days!
WTF, £250 with mot
Id buy one for £250 anyday, good towing vehiiicle :)

I had that once, so now I just leave it off and pull the ad without telling anyone if stuff sells elsewhere! lol
Lap it at combe :D
