Thanks , yes, lesson learned and it has been added. In fairness if the thing does not sell this time I might take the motor out myself and sell it on. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 20 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20 (edited) After 23 years of buying and selling on eBay I'm cancelling my account I did have 100% feedback but I listed something by mistake and it was purchased and paid for before I realised so I messaged an apology and issued a full refund immediately However the complete c*ckwomble still decided to leave negative feedback even though I sent a refund straight away I've been in touch with eBay and they don't give two f**ks about honest sellers (unless they are taking their fees) so I've told them they can shove their websh*te up their ar*e! 100% for 23 years and one a**wipe can damage your reputation without any consequence Rant over Edited March 20 by chuffinghell 1 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that you're somewhat disenchanted with the eBay "community"? You'll be lured back, just like I was.
