2908642343 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 All; I am 99% sure this is the same guy who had the side skirts listed up on ebay last year. My link I bought the items off him in the above link, and hay presto they never arrived, after much chasing via phone and email i gave up. He had excuses as long as your arm. Ebay banned and shut his account. I recovered my money via PayPal. So this is just a very gentle waring to be very careful. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffy1984 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) I had trouble with a guy on ebay, sausage694. It was a 90spec boot spoiler for my XR3i there was no photo but I won the auction fair and square, it never arrived. Excuses the same as John's situation, this guy reckoned his dad was dieing of cancer so he hadn't had a chance to get to the post office. I never got my 40 quid back. Just a proper prick. Anyway, this guy has had a pile of Manta spares on ebay over the last few months so another one to watch. Cheers, Peter.

opel2000 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I also had issues with Sausage694 on Ebay. I won 3 of his auctions for Manta rad hoses, contacted him with a delivery address, even included a copy of his ebay invoices along with payment and along with "The Designated Address" all stapled together. He sent them to the wrong Address, items got lost, and his atitude was.......... Not my problem, Shit happens. Well that earned him 3 negative feedbacks from me, one for each item not received.......... Wanker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Is this trexel guy the same as the sausage bloke or are these two to avoid? I thought the sausage bloke was somewhat further north than Liverpool, but there are so many dodgy bleeders on ebay it's redicul-arse! (especially that 'Rick-Manta' you've got to watch him) Ebay are useless these days, I've contacted them reporting with proof that someone was selling stolen property, they said unless I'm a copper they'd be ignoring me and you try getting the police to take stolen car polish seriously! Also, you can't leave a non payer a negative feedback! Why?? Some bastard owes me £85 I did report it as unpaid but he's got 100% positive feedback, just makes the whole thing a complete joke.
