Someone's bid on my photo

[slasherscot]

or avoid putting on arbtrader to avoid steves charges LOL

 

which it isn't in this case of course

[wrsni]

Lets hope so, no different to shop lifting or hiding in the loo on a train to avoid paying, IMO

 

Sort of agree with you, but countered by the fact that ebay are such horrible, devious, lying b***ards themselves that in some respects you don't mind someone putting one over on them either.

[renewablejohn]

Me too

 

 

Wasn't you was it ?

 

 

Now you've got me thinking....Maybe I should revise the listing to add the frame as an extra - please see my other items for sale

 

Regards,

 

Steve.

 

No its not me. Just a bit concerned the way its worded any judge would think its an offer to sell a chipper at a fixed price with the buyer determined by the sale of the photo. Unfortunately English law is not black and white and I do believe you have put yourself in a grey area where the buyer of the photo could have the upper hand if you sold to someone else. I certainly would not risk advertising in such a manner.

I don't think he's in that danger.

The digital photo sale is a bog standard no reserve auction sale. The (clearly separate) chipper sale is an invitation for people to offer him £4200 for it.

What beats me is how anyone could be dumb enough to bid on a digital copy of the photo when they can right click it and save Ebay will get their listing fee and a percentage of the end price so they don't give a hoot really they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Slasherscott - the ad was placed on Arbtrader before Ebay as I guess you've seen:thumbup1:.

 

Skyhuck and Wrnsi - I agree with you both, I do indeed have issues with Ebay as they have seriously wronged me before on my personal account and although that does not make it right I do not feel unduly bad.

 

Renewablejohn - My question 'wasn't you was it?' was merely facetious and as such should have been followed by a smiley for clarity:blushing:.

I feel the title of the advert and it's first line are quite clear about exactly what the auction is for. I appreciate that I wrote the ad, but I can't read it in any way that suggests that the winner of the auction for the photo has any rights, advantageous or otherwise, to purchase the machine that I am willing to sell.

 

Kind regards,

 

Steve.

Me neither, or that they need to bid on the picture to contact the seller concerning the chipper.

[Arbtech Tree Services]

Yep, they've pulled it

 

Say's it all, doesn't it? You report an item as being a fake, dangerous to human life, stolen or a scam and they don't do a thing, just ignore you. Tell them they won't make as much money on a listing and they're all over it like a rash

 

Did it's job though, looks like it's selling this weekend:thumbup1:.

 

Oh well, revised listing tonight then.

 

Regards,

 

Steve.

I don't understand the problem? If it's the one I looked at earlier it clearly said photo/picture at the end of the main description. If someone bids silly money on it they should learn to read!

If yer gonna sell something sell it. Don't ponce about just cos you got issues with ebay.
