Annoying Ebay user: HPI check issue

[rob_scott92]

Hey guys,

Bidding finished on the Gs today at £310. Great i think, untill i try to contact the bidder.
I sent him an e-mail straight after the bidding finished and he took ages to reply, i'm talking about 5 hours. i thought this was strange but people said "dont worry, he's probably just set his highest bid and gone out" When he did reply all he did was ask if i would deliver it. At this point i was a bit pissed as he should've asked before the end of the auction. but i politely said yes and old him it'd be an extra £10 for the tunnel (Liverpool ) and fuel. Only for him to e-mail me again just now to say, and i quote;
" do ya no what lad forget it ya no ok not intrested any moor just done a check on it and its been insurance damaged at some point"

When i bought the bike i also did a HPI check and it came back clear, unless the one i did wasn't legit i cant see why he's said this other than he's just a scouse tw*t and just doesn't want to pay up.

Has anyone else had an experience like this where they've been told it was insurance damaged just to get out of sale?
Thanks
Sorry if there are anyone from liverpool offended by "scouse tw*t" but this guy does seem to fit the stereotype!

Also, would it state on the V5 if it was insurance write off?

EDIT: Forgot to add, I gave hime my mobile number twice and he did not call, even to arrange pickup. I thought that was a bit suspicious

If you think that he's lying then just report him to eBay as a non paying bidder.

If you think there might be any truth in what he's saying then you could try asking him to e-mail you a copy of the HPI check.

How much feedback has he got and how new is the account?

I'd do another by a 'reliable' company to be sure. Some even guarantee a payout if it's wrong?

Since I'm aware where the info comes from and how it's distributed there's very little chance it's false - his report shouldn't be different from yours so get asking for a copy now.

A- Who that writes in that way would have the sense to run a check?

B- Who runs one for a £300 bike.

moor 2 da ^ oo runz ih after dey iz bought ih?

[ThoughtContro...]

He's probably just using it as a BS excuse. He's buying a 1982 bike for £300 and expects it never to have had a tumble in its life? Another HPI check will cost you money.

Either offer it to the next highest bidder or re-list it, and put a "less than 10 FB bidders will be deleted without prior notice".

Did you claim it was HPI clear in the ad? If not, it shouldn't be an issue anyway.
Unfortunately ebay is heavily biased towards the buyer - non-paying bidder is the only useful way to go really.

Bloke's a timewasting bellend. £310 is a good price to pay for a GS125 as well. Great bikes, tough as buggery and sweet handling. Shame there have to be fucking eejits like that to make life difficult.

Well i'm not as pissed about it now, at the end of the day, would i really want to sell my bike to him??? only to be ragged to hell and back??? No no no, that wont do

I got in touch with the 2nd highest bidder (£300) And he asked if i would deliver! Why do people not ask anything before the end of an auction anymore? Is it just me

Anyways he lives 120 miles away so i dont think my uncle would fancy driving that far with the trailer.

Anyone know any cheapish bike couriers about?

Also, my uncle informed me that its insurance damage and not the same as write off. So the guy is just being a nobber

Also, mr 27 cows. if i'm not very much mistaken i seem to remember you saying "if i saw a Gs like that pop up, i'd definately snap it up"???

Try putting a request up on shiply: https://www.shiply.com/
I got a c90 with a large box of spares delivered 120 miles or so for £60 - so probably about what I'd have paid in diesel myself, but I didn't have to have the hassle of the long journey there and back etc.

[rob_scott92]

Cheers for the link G, I may pass that onto him. I've just sent him an e-mail asking if he's still interested if i cant deliver. Hopefully he is and can sort out a van or something.
At least this guy doesn't have the sentancing structure of a retard

Make sure you register a non paying complaint with ebay so you get your seller fees refunded. It takes 30 days but its worth it. Next time you sell you can specify no bidders with feedback less than 10. I think its an option under the starting price

Right, so the guys just being a prat then
HPI Clear when i purchase bike
I ride bike damage free for a year
i try to sell bike
Scouse says hmmm ahhh well.... nahhhh
I go round to scouse house (Whey we're rhyming)
punch said scouse in face
His girfriend, or TAAAAAAT, comes to the door
I punch her in the tits and do her up the garry

i win!
Would that be going a bit too far???

Although i suppose i'd still have a bike to sell

thats suck. i recently sold my honda cg on ebay (went for £440) the buyer was a nice young girl just starting out with riding only problem was her dad who came to pick it up was moaning about the bike, i politely told him it was to late to start haggling and that he could have viewed the bike before committing to buy it. eventlally he backed down after we argued for a while and he left with the bike. the whole selling experience using ebay was very stressful and not something i will EVER do again (selling bikes at least) an hour before the aution ended i had loads of calls and emails asking stupid questions like "yo bruv u wanna swap it for a couple of laptops?"!! i was shitting myself that some twat would win it and end up causing my loads of hastile like you have had.

i would just relist it and make your conditions of the sale clear, such as "pick up only" etc and if they win and demand you deliver it tell them to F&*k off unless they pay for the delivery cost themselves prior to delivery, u dont wanna spend your money on delivery costs only to get there and they change there mind. some people on ebay dont take it very seriously as they think theres no come back if they refuse to pay (and there often right unfortunalty) dont be afraid to list all your conditions of sale on the listing that way there can be no disputes after the sale if something like this goes wrong.

good luck hope you get it sorted m8
