I just got stiffed by a bloke on eBay - I THINK he is/was a forum member (just traded his Storm for a GSXR600?) Bought his Ixil silencers for a steal only to be sent an email an hour later saying 'sorry, I was selling them for my brother and they've been sold already'.

NO CHANCE!

I won them for a steal - they were listed badly and went for £117. I don't like to speculate but watch ebay - a pint says they'll be relisted soon, with a higher start/reserve. I REALLY hate this s*&t - i changed my plans to stay in and bid on them - i could have been out doing something with my day. I've only ever left neg feedback once or twice. This moron got the best I could squeeze into one line. Blazing, i am!

Sorry to here this as i'm bidding on some stuff at the mo Don't know if you have seen the thread in the for sale bit there is a guy after some link pipes in there and i have replyied that i have some Micron high levels for sale soon kinda given him first dibs on them but if he does'nt have them i will drop you a p.m might be able to do a deal.

I'm pissed off with e-bay now as well Just got outbid on a part with less than a minute to go. Me being new to the whole e-bay thing could'nt work out how to put a higher bid in so lost out. Wont be trying to buy off that sh1t again. Anyone got an r1 tail light about anywhere?????

Wouldn’t be to upset the last two sets of them pipes I’ve seen go on ebay only just made a ton you could have been paying over the odds for them

Plus I bet there a pair of them I seen

Cheers Steve, let me know won't you!

Thanks for the heads up Warby, made me feel a bit less annoyed. I wouldn't mind if they'd been pulled *if* they'd been sold elsewhere - i'm off on my stag do tomorrow morning but had my mates round today - didn't go down the pub and kept them downstairs while I was upstairs fleabaying!

You still have the option of leaving bad feedback for the guy just put he pulled out of the deal and it was for a set of pipes

And he can’t put bad feedback on for you now

I have done - I VERY rarely leave bad feedback, even if things are late or not entirely as described. This git got the best I could leave with one line feedback. Like I said, it's not the actual loss of the item, it's the wasted day and total lack of consideration shown from him.

I also noticed he's changed his eBay username - this could be an indication of past issues?

i really wouldnt worry, i agree with warby, over £100 was NOT a steal in my opinion. Kaz sold me her ART cans for £120 (or around that) and they beat the ix's every time! Personal preference but i think you escaped quite well on this one dude!

The microns on offer sound like a good bet to me, havent heard a bad micron in years!

yeah i got a replacement shock for 99p plus postage and the post office mysteriously lost it.

I accepted the refund and sure enough the thing appeared back on a week later. I had a choice word with the guy who told me to shove it. (right where the sun don't shine)

Cos I accepted a refund I coulden't leave feedback and I just put a warning out to ebay about a his unfair activity. I'm sure they did sweet FA

Hardly an auction - more of a price fixing scam that site...

Top tips always pay pal, I have just had thirty quid refunded for a polishing kit that never materialized. Yeh there are some dodgy basts but there are loads of honest people on there as well.

Ive bought over 100 items from Ebay without a problem, everything from a mouse-mat to a motorbike
Infact eyeing up a couple of "curry kits " right now ! mmmm
Have heard of a few mates having problems on it though
