Default More ebay useless sellers

My dad bought some alloys & off road tyres for his Frontera.

Managed to win them for £100. Worth over £500 new just for the tyres.

6 days later, he got this message on ebay due to seller cancelling the sale...


audiv6tdi recently opened a case to cancel a transaction for an item you recently purchased: ALLOY WHEELS 31/10.5/15 NEARLY NEW TYRES.Reason for request to cancel the transaction: The seller did not provide a specific reason.

Seller comment: hi im sorry to say but when returnig home from a fundrel in spain the wheels have gone missing out of my garden , sorry about this , if i get them back i will get in touch with you , sorry again tony


Some people's excuses are getting really bad. If he didn't want them to let them go so cheap, he should have put a reserve on them

I had the same with some STI lights for the wagon.He gave the money back and said the had been damaged,I told him to send me photos as i would have them anyway.After a few more emails he told me he had been offered more money for them but I could have them for the price I payed £50(bargin)
So it might be worth opening a case against them.You may not get the wheels but you can screw up his feedback

Worked out to be a blessing.

Got a set of bigger wheels & better tyres all in better condition for £50 more.
