Ebay help

Hi, I have recently sold a smashed corsa for £60 on eBay. I got an email from the winner saying:

In all fairness i think someone is being a tit.

First of they have sent it CC the police etc when it contains threats in it such as "we will find you" besides they aren't even supposed to be picking up the car till tomorrow? Have you replied to the first email?

I have not replied to the first email. My intention was to reply to it once I had the chance but while entering my email I saw a second one and thought I should ask for advice before proceeding.

Is the second email from the same person? Ring her, she's given you her number in the first one.........

Sounds to me like her pc may have been hacked, if she wanted to collect tomorrow (nearly today) you should really have replied by now, especially if she has to get a trailer or tow to get the car home.

V5 goes into the name of whoever collects it, don't know but with them sounded vaguelly dodgy you could ask to see their driving license or something else to confirm who they actually are.

I'm sure Surrey Tax office will be really concerned about a sold as seen £60 car on eBay. As would the police and it's a civil matter, not a criminal matter. eBay, well, I doubt they'll even read her email; disagreements between a seller and a buyer aren't anything to do with eBay.

Under contract law stolen their car from them, lost of £1000 profits, punitive damages and wasting the time of their transporter, well, the contact is from them to collect a £60 sold as seen car. Good luck to them in trying to claim anything else through a court, it would be small claims court anyway.

"Come up with our car, now or I will see you in court" Whatever. Laughing

Arrange for them to come and collect it, as has been said not being at home on your own would probably be a sensible idea.

Any emails to them put "Without prejudice" at the top, any documents headed "without prejudice" cannot be used in evidence in any subsequent court case without the permission of both parties. Chances are they're unlikely to know what it means and legal jargon is usually good for worrying people. Razz

Firstly what is the buyers feed back rating and how long have they been registered, secondly save the emails because you may need them at a later date and thirdly the car is not theirs until you they have paid for it, you are only legally bound to release it upon receipt of payment, which they are legally bound to do.
Also i agree with what others have said about having someone with you.

Following up the topic, I have sent an email back to the buyer and reported them to eBay about the tone of email:

Have you missed part of the story somewhere here ?

When was it sold, did you not contact them or something after the sale ?

What a bizarre series of emails.

Going by what is written here, Sally sounds to me like a bit of a fruit loop! Confused

Glad you've sorted it R4nger. Thumbs Up
