Oh, and the dead Honda C90 went for ukp51!!! I'm gobsmacked. Turns out
the buyer lives in West Yorkshire, and with his zero feedback I have a
slight sinking feeling...

Indeed. And the imbecile (Philip Smith is his name, and I'm tempted to
post his address as well) has backed out already. So here's a
transcript of the emails:

Me: 've been trying to contact you through my home email, but
something's going wrong. If you're sending me messages, all I'm
getting is a couple of words - no more. As you know, you were the
winning bidder on the old C90 I've sold on Ebay and I'm trying to
arrange payment/collection. Please reply to this email so I at least
know I'm getting through to you!

Him: yeah i get the mesege there is only one thing i live in leeds

Me: I know. So why did you bid on a bike in Surrey? Are you telling me
that you are backing out of the auction? That would result in a NPB
report to Ebay and some very negative feedback.

Him: i dint no where you lived

Me: It says Sutton,United Kingdom, London on the page.

Will you please confirm, immediately, whether you are backing out of
this auction?

Him: yeah im backing out soz

Me: Right. This will result in some very negative feedback. I will
also be filing a Non Paying Bidder report to Ebay. They will issue you
a warning. Get two more of these and you are *permanently* banned from
Ebay, and as they use your postal and other details in their records,
simply using another email address won't help. Next time, I strongly
suggest that you engage your brain before bidding and look at what and
where you're buying.

Him: ok then

Anybody with a posting name like his has to be a total ****, I
suppose. If I had an Astra GSI I wouldn't boast about it.

Grrrrrrrrrr......

Oh well, negative feedback filed, NPB will have to wait a week, and in
the meantime I'm contacing the other bidders.
