I'm so pissed off!!!!

I was selling my bike on Ebay, the auction supposed to finish in two hours, it was doing really well, the last time I checked it it was £1160. And f***cking Ebay, two hours before the end of the auction decided that my auction title is against Ebay Policies because I wrote “Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja NOT CBR R6 GSXR”!!!

And they couldn’t be bothered to change the title or email me to do it, they just deleted it!!! With all the bids etc. I can’t find the nicks of people which were bidding on it because they deleted the auction completely!! They couldn’t do it earlier, it was a 7 days auction!!! just right when it was going to an end.

What a ************ twats! I just wasted whole ******* week!!!

Why was the title against their rules? Is there anywhere on Ebay you can contact to ask? If so, ask them for the details of the people bidding and see if you could offer it to the highest bidder. Or, at the very least, if you could relist it without a charge.

It is a bit out of order for them to do so just two hours before the auction ending, if they’ve had a week to do so, and then not contact you beforehand.

Good luck, Rottie!

Ok, I’m better now. I relisted it quickly with a Buy it Now and one of the bidders bought it

My Ninja is going to Bristol, I’m gonna deliver it, hopefully it won’t snow!

Heh, and now the buyer paid already via PayPal, which will cost me £40 to withdraw the money…

It’s hard to be a seller on Ebay…

why did you write “Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja NOT CBR R6 GSXR” as the heading ? Personally when I am searching for stuff it really irritates me when people do that.

AMEN, tell it how it is not anythin else.

glad it went in the ned anyway

Playing Devils Advocate, if some one lists as Rottie did then any one looking for a sports bike will find his and can bid. But if you are looking specifically for an R6 say, then I could understand your frustration, but unless you are on dial up it shouldn’t be a real issue just to skip that listing.

Yeah, I hate it too when I’m looking for something!!

I will never do it again, promise!

what was your buy now price?

£1160

I think in normal circumstances it would go higher, there was still 2 hours left and few people bidding hard.

Oh, well, it was a good price anyway.

I’m going to Bristol at 6am coz I have to be back to work in the afternoon.

Anyone fancy a ride with me?

in 5 hours time???!!! are you on drugs/ do you have any??

Mate, I’ve just started watching wrestling on Sky Sports

I don’t think that I will fall asleep before 4am, most of the days I sleep about 3hours, sleep it’s a such a waste of time…

Rottie mate, what is your new, if any, steed?

ebay has done that to me before to

thing is EBAY don’t look for it it takes some little w*nker to report it to Ebay as a violation of rules for ebay to remove it

gotta admit now I’m more used to ebay it does wind me up that so many people still say NOT this & that etc

Ok, I’m back, bike is gone, everything ok.Happy

Way to Bristol at 6am - definetely not happy!Freezing, slippery, and between London and Bristol all the time fog. Not the best weather for a ride.

But the ebay story continues, apart from bike I was also selling few other thins - one of them was Nokia N-Gage with all the games etc.

It sold yesterday to a guy with zero feedback who bidded in last minute for £56 (the price is important!)

And what do I find today in my mailbox?

I don’t know, shall I laugh or cry???Laugh because this scam is so stupid that noone with a brain would go for it or cry because I wasted a week of auction because of an a$$hole?

Hey Rott, when you sold the bike to the guy did you tell him about it’s fantastic ability to crunch into things, go sliding down the road, crunch into other things, and still start/rideaway?? LOL

I was gonna chime in on the auction about the dubious history and show some of the equally dubious colours the bike has been. LOL

Rottie, good luck for the future mate and send us a postcard or two. Mebbe an article a la Dan Walsh in Bike yes?

This was in the Metro today, stating this is the latest scam on Ebay comming from Nigeria. Apparently loads of people have sent the item to then find out there’s no money in there account. I supose the easiest way is to log into Paypal and check your accout that way…*******s.

You’re joking !!! Someone really did send the items??? People won’t stop to amaze me…

I have more, I just got an email from that a$$:

Dear Seller,

I have made the payment and i will want you to proceed with the shipment of the item if you have received the payment approval notification from paypal via your email address and here is the shipping information below:

Many Regards.
