Sold my car on ebay for a really low amount, turns out the seller is local so i thought wicked finally a nice easy sale, The polski turns up and drives car and seems happy only to come out with a 400 offer not the 460! he found 1 tyre low on inside edge which i was not aware off! i told him no and he left the car! I could not believe it! Fcuking tosser! £460 was a fookin bargain any way! now i have 28 quid ebay fees aswell as the nob wont cancel transaction! Ebay is wank and cant even leave neg feedback to buyers no more! any ideas on how to get ebay to cancel fees?
Do not take anything i say seriously as i am a bit of a cnut!

file a non paying bidder report.
three strikes and he's kicked off ebay. you should get your fees back too.
consider contacting the second highest bidder if you'd be happy with £450

though, i'd get some better pics and relist it. doesn't look like you did well ending at £460

Must be a polish thing, I had one drive a 300 mile round trip to try a set of wheels on they'd bought 2 weeks previous on a buy it now. They didnt fit.... Annoying, but 300 miles in a petrol freeloader should put them off doing it again :)
As said, open a dispute and report him as a non paying bidder. He will then get a bad mark and you will get your fee's back

If your really p1ssed off wait until he lists something and give him a taste of his own medicine winkeye

It happened to my brother when he sold his 530d, group of polish or russains drove all the way from York to Boston, they turned up and saw it was a manual and said sorry thought it was auto! i felt sorry for em really, luckily they was viewing before auction ended and it was late when they turned up! i would be gutted but just proves you have to read the advert properly! Hes agreed to cancel fees, well 20 quid FVF so not all bad as i think i was giving car away! looks like i will try again in spring unless i get 500 squid before xmas! never mind only 8 quid down! :(

As said. open a dispute. Think you have to wait 7 days and then another 7 days before it closes. Also offer to 2nd highest bidder.

lol dont give me ideas like that, we only plant the burglers! Ebay is great but alot of divs, out of all stuff we sell its only cars/bikes ever have problem with, i sold a fireblade to a guy for £1360, he came offering a grand, 2 hours of discussions and i said 1200 was lowest and he went back to birmingham empty handed! quick check on his feedback showed he had just sold a golf gti for a grand, so i knew he was a chancer! if i agree a price i stick to it same as if im buying!

you shouldnt have even said 1200, at the end of the day what they bid is the price they pay, they are not supposed to haggle with you if its an auction

open a dispute as a non paying ebeyr,then wait seven days until you can take any further action,or if he replies witin the 7 days then you can respond by closing the dispute and he will get a strike,and you will be refunded with your final value fee,not the listing fee.
