Got a buddy with another eBay account? Get him to buy one of this guys LED things for £3.50 on a BIN and arrange for him to collect it, you go with and when he opens the door tell him you've cone to collect the engine as well...

Be worth the £3.50 to see the look on his chevy chase..

Auction description says "boat engine"

Nasher · 27 January 2011, 06:50

Can somebody please do me a favour and ask him a question about one of his other auctions?

If he answers at least I’ll know it’s just me he’s ignoring about the engine.

I’ve tried requesting his details as in Nos’s link, but he’s carefully added them so they are useless. His ebay name in the address fields etc.

I'd report him to ebay for that anyway, the whole point is you are supposed to be able to tell who you are transacting with when you both exchange details.

Nasher · 27 January 2011, 20:13

Well, he's finally got round to replying to me, along with the many other questions he's received today

Thanks all.

Aparently the auction was a test that he didn't even realise was actually listed, and the engine involved was left at his old flat and sold by his old landlord.
I'm considering my feedback, but am going to let him sweat a few days before leaving it

I have read this post from day one and was hoping for a good result, It has had a lot of viewings and i am rather disapointed with the result as you probably are to :-)

jambo · 27 January 2011, 20:34

Hi Nasher like astra I to have been watching your threaad since day one and share his and your dissapointment!! As an active ebayer I am sure ebay would be interested in this case.

Nasher · 27 January 2011, 20:36

Thanks Astra.

It's not cost me anything apart from a very small amount of my time, and has given a few people some entertainment.

I am amused that he probably thinks his other items are of great interest to all the people that asked him questions today.

Nasher.

Well his suggested retail for the Jabsco pump is $270.99 and he can't even spell Yacht

Thanks for the entertainment Nasher

Poly · 28 January 2011, 07:46

presumably some people might bid on some of his items this week as "a test"! Ebay fees can quickly rack up and its a right PITA to claim them back!

I hadn't thought that he is of course going to have to pay ebay fees on the £56 I purchasd the engine for

Nasher.

ollyit · 28 January 2011, 09:46

ha ha numpty, not to mention listing fee's - the final value selling for fee for that would be £5.60 then

and ebay will chase and chase the seller fee's believe me!!

He won't if he opens a cancellation case against you and you agree to cancel

You've got him where it hurts if he does
