<div class="bbWrapper">Once saw an IKEA lampshade on Ebay that sold for £25.00. At IKEA, same lampshade was selling in the shop, for £15!! Go figure!!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I've just caught up with the thread again, and I really do think people need to read it through.<br /> The car was clearly sold with no tax<br /> Mike offered the winner a discount on the tax when she pressed him.<br /> She isisted she could only afford £10 for the tax (so what happens in three months then?)<br /> She told Mike he could resell the car if he wanted.<br /> Now, perhaps it is because both Mike and I have been in the trade, (in my case 30 years ago) but I have NEVER seen a car sold with tax included - the first thing we used to do was cash in any remaining tax if the owner had not done this. <br /> However, as for the 35k Porsche, I too would feel hard done by if the 3 months tax was cashed in.<br /> As Pontoneer quite rightly says, at this end of the market, every pound counts - both for buyer and seller. Sub £1000, and it is unreasonable to expect the seller to 'throw in' any tax, and is a bonus to get a discount on it.<br /> Anyway, her loss=my gain. This is what she missed out on.<br /> <br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

<div class="bbWrapper">lookin at the motor i have to say i'd have stumped up the £50. that's a peach.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The original auction winner <u>will</u> be feeling gutted..</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">didnt want to resurrect this thread really, but the saga has taken a freaky turn.<br /> For those who've followed this thread, you'l know I filed a non payment dispute last friday (7 days after the end of the auction). I then start getting messages from the winning bidder saying she was now willing to pay the full amount plus what id asked for the tax. I decided just to ignore her, she had her chance, messed me around, so tough. I got another message monday saying she wanted to come on tuesday, so i responded and said id sold the car to someone else because she'd told me she'd understand if I re listed it. She now keeps sending me messages via the dispute, saying i had no right to sell the car,that i was legally bound to sell it to her, that shes going to report me to ebay etc etc, non of this bothers me,,BUT,,then she sends me this via the normal ebay messaging<br /> <br /> <i>Dear mikeouk,<br /> <br /> Very simple I have lost out because you have breached the contract,and as <br /> for wanting the car I wanted the car enough to make an 80 mile around trip <br /> on friday to find the car had gone and there was a porsche parked in its <br /> place, anyway thats life, we will draw a line under it and let ebay do the <br /> talking. <br /> <br /> -pharlapuk</i><br /> <br /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />so she actually drove to my house on friday, even though she didnt have a clue if id be there or not and without contacting me first. Is it just me or is this not just plain weird and shady?? why would she do that? was she hoping to look at the car without my knowledge? its even crossed my mind she'd come to steal it,,im freaked out that this person who is obviously off centre has been to my house without me knowing.</div>

If she came with the intention of paying for the car, then surely she would have rang me either before or when she was here.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">She sounds like a real chancer to me. AFAIK she initially wanted your car with free tax. She then called your bluff saying you could relist the car, which effectivly you did by advertising it on this forum. Now she's back-peddling but should know the deal the gone from her grasp.<br /> <br /> She took her chance and lost out. Sadly for you a classic Ebay time waster.<br /> You've my sympathies.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I had a similar experience, although nothing to do with the sale of a car. I actually contacted Ebay they had the negative feedback removed, if you can back up all the history of the discussions &amp; prove she is in the wrong, they will have no issue removing her feedback.<br /> <br /> Good luck, I agree totally, such a pain when people mess you around.</div>
