Here is the winner of the item I bidded on. Looks like he buys (bids and doesnt pay) from this seller a fair bit.

The seller claims to never have sold to this bloke. Now if someone had brought that much from you before I think your would remember!

Fish tanks and bunk beds. I think you would rremember him picking them up wouldnt you??

[stickthis]

notice that both the feedback and also the feedback left he tends to use a+++ a fair bit in both. Sugesting the same bloke is the buyer and seller

that other bidder that bids on his items is here:

hmmm, i have almost had it with ebay at the moment. People like this make it 10x worse for the honest user. I have had quite a few items go for far less than their actual value, maybe i should have pushed up the price with some dodgy bids... I WOULD report him stick.

[stickthis]

Sure have Mook.

eBay is a big place for me with my business. I dont need wanker like this stuffing it for others.

This is one reason why I list everything as a buy it now. That was you know your paying the exact price you should be.

[mook]

With Buy Now does it reduce your overall (yet way too high) ebay fees? How do you find that buy now works on non new items? Would you say that you get a premium price for those items or do you price to sell?

I still remember the scuff plate extensions, you were right they did sell!

[stickthis]

I guess you got to know what its worth for buy it now. Sometimes like the scuff plates they take a while. But its knowing what they are worth so you get the right price.

Or better still do a buy it now with best offer. Best offer is free. That way you can accept a lower offer if its taking a while to sell.

One thing I find with best offer is that people will always put in an offer. Never pay the asking price. So work out your price. Say you want $100. put the buyitnow with best offer at $110. That way someone will offer you $90. You counter offer with $100. volla you have your wanted price. =)

Yes Im an eBay neard!

the system is flawed... its too easy to create a false market like this bloke clearly has. human nature dictates that you want something more when you can't have it, ie someone else bidding also wants it. the price gets pushed up and you'll almost always end up paying more than you wanted to. Im all for picking up the local rag, getting in the car and taking a look.

In my first ever experience I bought a set of race wheels for my road bike and they were completed f$%ed. I got my coin back but was still down $80 postage. Oh and i stressed a fair bit too :knockout:

Since then ive never bought on Ebay. Dont get me wrong, id buy from a reputable seller like Stickthis and Oz.. guys that are also doing business outside of the site.

Anyways thats my two bob on the matter.
