If you are thinking of doing so avoid enquires from a buyer in the Netherlands (ersatzteile944) because he wins items and then does not want to pay.

He contacted me asking if I would post a particular part overseas but went on to bid on a further 4 items without asking for a cost of shipping first. After winning said items he asked for a price small packets via airmail.
As one item was a distributor cap I was not prepared to put these items in a jiffy bag, I boxed these up and went to the post office to get a price. Now to me a total of £15 to post 5 items overseas (1.2kg) does not sound bad to me, the buyer has other ideas though and does not want to pay more than £9.50 shipping.
I can't believe he is haggling over £5.50 for some bargain small Porsche parts, he has asked me to cancel his bid but in the meantime guess what? he went on to bid and win another item.

:evil:

Sounds like a great time to try the eBay feature "block specific buyers from bidding on your items"

Things like this combined with seller fees really put me off using eBay.

I have posted about this on PCGB too, seems other people have had a problem with this guy. I've been in contact with him to inform him I have made Ebay aware of his actions, funnily enough this time he decided to reply to me.

hello Scott,

i could hardly believe that you actually called for help in a Porsche forum

until i found one page where you talked about me and this so called issue

first of all i take exception to the fact that you call my username in a (public) forum

due to privacy reasons as you may understand!

secondly i am quite surprised to hear from you that someone else apparently confirmed about having problems with me ..

ofcourse i am quite curious WHO.is person.?

furthermore you stated that you already reported me to Ebay to tell some falsehood..

and now you still expecting that i am willing to pay,.. to reward you?

request you to tell/ explain me and maybe there is a way to solve this matter

Niels
