Are you saying you won it and he sold it to someone else.... if you sell something on ebay thats a legally binding contract.

contact pay pal you will get your money back

 

It doesn't say he paid for it, His says he still wants it and is willing to pay another $500

 

more for it. If this bloke has done what you said and sold it after the eBay auction was

 

over that's not right and wouldn't leave it at that I would be seeking legal advice.

thanks for the feedback fellas' don't think i will do the eBay thing without viewing next time, not worth the headache!

Ebay seems to be getting worse as the years go by, check out the warnings on Hybridzed .

I'd say the next bidder contacted him and offered more than what the auction ended at, and he took it.

 

Oh well, YellowRX won't be sticking his nose back in on this site anymore.

Hi everyone, just to clarify my situation on all this because I thoroughly enjoy my zeds and dealing with many of you guys. I had sold many parts to people from this forum on eBay before without a hitch. I sold the motor to zomb13, he said he would pickup it up 4 days later on a wed night after work and wasn’t paying for it until then. On my own accord I prepared the engine that night and had it hanging on a block and tackle to be dropped into a trailer with all items boxed to go. I waited and waited, no call, no sms, no eBay msg. I cancelled my late plans that night in case he was just running late. He never turned up. I eBay messaged him the early morning to ask what happened as I was waiting. That following day I sold it for $300 less to a member on this forum whom came and picked it up immediately. zomb13 did finally sms me the next day and claimed he never got my emails even though I have records of every one. I have been burned before on eBay by non payers and in my eyes zomb13 was another time waster that could have easily called me and I would have been more than happy to help out any way I can and arrange another suitable pickup time. Rather than file a dispute with eBay I just moved on as he only had a (0) rating so I wasn’t expecting much. zomb13 has since left my first negative feedback on eBay ever, that is his opinion and he is entitled to it. I have plenty Z parts to sell and I only ask people communicate better in future.

if he was in the wrong he would not come back and explain what happen

 

That's not necessarily true. I'd call it a failure in communication from both ends really. I understand your frustration YellowRX, but surely you had the option to ask for his phone number? I'm sure a quick call would have averted all of this drama. When you sold the motor to someone else you knew that there was a risk he would still want it. And zomb13, I personally hate it when people don't follow through on commitments, from the sounds of it you didn't make it easy for him.

 

If I'm ever organising a pickup or delivery of items, especially ones that will require preparation, I always try to get a number so I can call if they don't show.

Usually with ebay I think at a minimum payment should be made within 7 days, so was probably a bit hasty to off load it before then....... But, It's a two way street though and if you make a commitment stick to it.

 

Yellow RX sold it in the end and Zomb13 is getting his motor rebuilt.......

 

Anyhoo, Lets all hold hands and sing 'Kum Bay Yah'    ;D
