ebay van trouble

[tbs1983]

thanks for that, handy to know. Haven't heard anything back since I sent the reply early this morning, but suspect I haven't heard the last of him, will use this info if I get any further hassle, demand a copy of the ECU printout.

So this guy paid £550 for a van and is now wanting it even cheaper there are times when Ebay brings out the dishonest dregs of society

It is usually better if you have a few mates round when someone is coming to view a vehicle as they always turn up with a mate or two with the intention of intimidating the seller

Have seen this attempted before first hand when my brother sold a car guy came up with problems that didn't exist the thing is my brother is a mechanic and didn't let onto this until the guy kept on finding more and more minor faults on a car that was 8 years old he eventually told the guy to take a hike as he wasn't getting the car as he wasn't going to take his money however little he wanted to pay.

A tip some one gave me years ago was to get them to sign a receipt for you that the vehicle was sold as seen with no warranty and by signing they are accepting this

.......this ECU will have logged all the faults that have caused limp home along with the TIME AND DATE. If he can't show you that then he can go and whistle......

My thoughts exactly tell him to show you the evidence of previous limp-mode events or take a hike.

They won't even let me take fire arms on domestic flights any more never mind international. I blame the Yanks....

I hate scum like this. The world is getting more and more full of pond life scum like this.

I think we've got our own UK gun slinger in the form of High Tower.
But what I've heard of his physical description, he doesn't need any weapons!

that's nothing ( the OP, i mean). heard yesterday a guy sold a genuine 2nd hand rolex on ebay for £4K. buyer opened a dispute, saying it was fake. ebay gave him the 4K back and took it off the seller. buyer then returned a fake watch.

I have a brother in law who's exactly the same. Every single purchase he makes he find fault with and demands a refund or discount or something for free. It was so rediculous it was astanding joke and everyone who knew him knew he was famous for this. He's like a pit bull and doesn't let go until he gets his way, he's had more complaints letters published in the local rags than I've had hot dinners. Last time I was in the UK and we went to a restaurant he started making a scene because there was something supposedly wrong with his food and the manager refused to discount his entire meal from the bill. We fell out that evening because after several warnings I gave him a firm clip around the ear when my sister wasn't looking.
