Same thing happens on E30zone, time wasters. Then you can't advertise again cause of the 100 rule. I think this is 99???

Ebay pot luck

Unlucky with your sale, I think ebay is pot luck sometimes for both buying and selling. I reckon it's usually worth "featuring" cars though. I have sold a few on there and the only ones that sold for decent ammounts were featured
Good luck

This one has dragged on for you i know , Ebay has seemed to lost all ethics or rather the people using it. Obvious question have you tried AutoTrader. Car apperars ok and you've had no luck on e bay you need to change where you're advertising Hope it works out for you

The first time was just the usual 325 head cracking problem. The second time it was due to a loose valve seat coming out where it was welded during the recon process and then wrecked the head and that piston.
Got new bottom end and head etc to go in now though.

Ebay is rapidly becoming a total waste of time - too many wankers and scammers. Sorry to hear you've been messed about by a dickhead. I don't doubt he's just a penniless prick who's bottled it and given you a bullshit excuse.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK!!
Stick it back on with no reserve and a threat to shoot any messers!
