    Warning of ebay buyer studmuffinsteve58

    had someone win my A4 last sunday, didnt come to view it and promised to pick it up, changed dates etc

    several phonecalls later he suggests i sell it and get more for it elsewhere?! WTF!

    i now have an un insured/untaxed car i can do nothing with

    and no money to repay my dad for my deposit on a flat he needs by the end of this month (that i am now seriously short of!)

    didnt even come to look at the car, worrying thing is, he also has my bank details as he said his missus couldnt know the full price so was gonna pay £500 into my bank before he gets here

    then tells me about the Leon and VR6 Sharan he had also just bought the same day..............

    so a totally full of **** Ebayer that has been reported (studmuffinsteve58)

    Beware lads

    Sean.

          Nothing worse than the feeling of being shafted from afar and being pretty helpless about the situation . Did you get any more details, this calls for a jobbie in the post.

          And manny happy returns, haha that would be nice

                Hope he gets his just deserts. If you've not done it I'd let your bank know that this idiot has your account details...just in case you understand.

                  I took revenge on someone who did similar to me with a set of wheels. He bought them, arranged to meet me several times but always cancelled. One day really pissed me off when I had loaded them into the car and taken them to work. Then the **** left me neutral feedback!

                  So I kept an eye on his account to see if he ever listed anything for sale. Not long after he listed a TV. So I used another account to buy it and spent a few weeks messing him around, which was quite satisfying in the end!

                            Ha ha ha. Could not resist. Have just sent him this message

                            Hi mate. Really interested in the car as I need the engine for a project. Would you be willing to do a deal today and meet me as I have access to trailer this afternoon. I will be coming up from Exeter this afternoon on another errand for the build so could meet you and take the car off your hands. Don't need to view it as I will be ripping engine straight out etc etc. Would you be willing to meet me at the M4, M5 junction at Woodside Golf Club this afternoon. Let me know your but it now price and I am sure we can come to an arrangement

                            Let's see if I can get him to travel to the meeting point today while I am many many miles away at Gti international.
