Another Ebay dilemma
What would you do if you was selling a item which had only a few hours to go, what had very little bids i.e around £50. And a person comes around your house with £350 cash to buy said item.
What would you do?:confused: P.s said item is to far into auction to remove. |
Can you win the auction yourself? Not sure if this is possible, or arrange for a friend to win it.
Just an idea Ben |
Hmmm tricky one. Sell the item to them and then create a new account on ebay and enter the highest bid as £350 and hope you win! Very underhand I know but it may get you out of a hole. Not that I condone such actions of course!
|
Honestly i'd just get a friend to bid it all the way up then you don't have to go through with the deal - you'll pay a bit in fee's but better then getting negative feedback.....
It's about the only option really. |

Ok then, so you sold said item for say £90 and the winner has yet to pay and someone comes to your house with £350.
What then? |
you are legally bound to sell the item for £90.00......as long as the buyer pays within the specified amount of time.
|
Email them saying it's broken and you cannot sell it. You are contracted to sell it though.
|
Get a friend to put a proxy bid of £400, then when its sold file for a mutual agreement not to sell, then no final valuation fees are charged :)
|
Im just trying to get peoples views of what they would do, does money talk every time or are people honest and lose £160.
As for legal terms and contracts to sell i think ebay is a joke, whats a ticking of and a bit of bad feed back worth these days. Ebay rather you sort the problem out between yourselfs than them get involved. And i wonder how many people have been taken to court over it, i bet not many especially at that sort of money. |
Money talks every time !! You didnt go onto ebay to give someone a nice bargain did you ?? You Want to sell and make some Money back ?!? :eh?:
|
Claim your daughter/son etc. have dropped and damaged it and it can't be sold now?

had this happen to me as a buyer. it's annoying but i couldn't prove they were lying |
If you didn't want to sell it for a lower price you should of put a reserve on it. Link us to the auction and we will all send you emails with stupid questions. :D
|
lol !! :D What will we be enquiring about anyway ?? Not 1 legged jeans again ?

I really hope none of you who are suggesting all this have been sympathizing with Northy too!:confused:
Why not have the guy with the £350 setup an eBay account (do it with him!) and just bid the money?? Or does he not know he could get it cheaper?? |
well i would end it no matter who was bidding on it,sorry about that"eee"
or when you advertise always put in for sale elsewhere, there you go:o |
