RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted September 5, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2016 Agreed.. why on earth?.....but somebody has bid....! There would seem to be a market for the 'outlandish' including some highly questionable 'scrap items'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's just another case of lazy and sloppy presentation. Surely if you want to 'market' your item you do your best to make it look saleable and write up an easy to read, accurate and 'non-shouty' description.

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted September 5, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2016 They'll never learn the basic principles of sales. Importantly you don't annoy your potential customers with silly, amateur and childish script! l always avoid "L@@K" and shouty script descriptions as I've never yet seen anything of quality or just plain good described in this way. They're usually cr*p anyway! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some items you might pay slightly more for the convenience of card payments, as quite a lot of suppliers don't take cards at all. Though not in the case of that DJH model, that is taking the whatsit a bit! Regularly see Cambrian kits pop up, for more than they sell them on their own site too.

Then that's for the buyer to report to eBay. The fact that his feedback is overwhelming positive tends to suggest customers are happy with their transaction. That's down to them. I've never bought anything from the guy, so no issues there? Have any of you whining about him reported him to eBay? If not, why not? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
