  1. What’s the matter with some people, have a little ktm 65 for sale, one of my lads advertised it on twatbook! Inundated with idiots but a lot of people wanted it(or so they say) so to be fair gave the first guy first dibs, says he wants to come from Bath to Hereford at 6pm so my lad finishes work early ,goes to get bike from lock up,takes it to mine and waits! The jackass never turns up and turns his phone off after messaging my lad all day!! I cannot put in to words how hard I would like to whack the twat!, rant over

  8. Selling stuff is the worst.

    infact having to interact with most of the public is bad enough.

  9. I have binned stuff rather than sell or even give away at times. Now EBay are also pissing about with payment terms it’s even worse.

  10. What terms?
     
  11. Unfortunately if you choose to sell something, you have to treat every idiot as a potential buyer, not every potential buyer as an idiot.
    I don't care if someone changes their, just sent a flippin' text to say so, it's really not complicated.

  12. I haven’t read all the terms but the stand out ones in the email. They want to have access to your bank account and out funds in so no more PayPal. No fees they say...but sale fees have gone up by 3%...and they have 2 days to pay you...and you wonder how the whole refunds etc process will work....can’t see me selling anything thru there now unless it’s COC. Assume that means access to your account for paying for goods too.... no thanks
     
  13. This is something that gets me too and I dread listing stuff on Gumtree as it seems to attract the biggest clowns of all. It's not quite so bad if you only accept phone calls as half of these idiots freak out at the thought of having to string a sentence together and hold a conversation.

  15. Gave up on Gumtree years ago, full 1/2 wits and scammers.

  16. I wish I had the strength to list the enquires I had when I sold my race van and the bike.

    it was 98% dribblers who could barely string a sentence together. And what was conveyed,
    Einstein couldn’t have comprehended it was that backwards.

    it’s like they’re trying to beat you down with their illogical ramblings so you give up on life and give them the item for free just to make it stop.

    it really is a mental test/ barrage.


    It’s just simple things like;

    “I’m not interested in px” which usually follows 100% enquires of people offering you their nans mobility scooter and cash their way. Or a Nissan micra and a set of mismatched door knobs.

    I had one guy offer me an r1 px which I didn’t want but at this point I was verging on suicidal tendencies. So I said, okay show me some pics ... he then sent me pics of a 2003 gsxr ? so I said that it wasn’t an r1 and his response was ...
    “Oh I’ve not got the R1 anymore” (this was within 10 minutes of the original enquiry). I just wanted to cry.

    I’m getting the arsehole now just talking about it again haha. It’s like I’ve got ptsd

  17. I sell smaller items on FB local classified groups, which is mostly ok. Selling bikes or cars on FB attracts more morons than opening day at Primark.
     
  18. Explains why PayPal have moved to charging annual fee as soon no one will probably use it. The death of their business is nigh.....

    I can see many getting Pissed that parcels don’t turn up for a week or more because sellers wait for funds to clear. I wouldn’t. And it’s not clear how refunds will work: will they just ‘charge’ against your account?!
     
  19. i have just sold my bmw sat nav on ebay they hold the money until the buyer receives it .i sent it next day tracked and signed but he kept missing the delivery driver although he booked 2 deliveries himself. i finally got paid by ebay this morning selling is a ball ache
