ebay fools

[landy]

but 3 sky digital box's on ebay the other day. In the first day a guy emailed me and said he wants 2 box's and could he come pick them up the same day. So we agreed a price, so i sold 2. Went on to ebay and added some more infomation
"this item is now sold the winning bidder will recive a plastic peg"
thnking people will see this i thought nothing will happen, it will run its course on 99p unsold. But i was wrong they sold for £35 each....


so where do i stand now? am in my right to send them the peg and keep the money as it says in the advert? or do i send them there money back?

cheers guys

[AdamW]

Send them a peg.....

Why would you put " recieve a plastic peg"..??? I dont understand

[VTR_Nick]

Legally you can keep the money and send them the peg but morally it's rong obviously. It up to you bud i think i'd find it hard to decide as well;)

[Tupps]

Should have ended listing tbh....

I'd send them a peg :)

[landy]

sorry i spelt it wrong sir

[Saint]

Refund the money, its very much legit but naughty you will get bad feedback

people did the whole buy this Xbox 360 for 100 when they 1st come out.... in small print was... your bidding on a picture of a 360 system

[Lee_P]

so your actual changed it so that you were selling a platice peg technically if you wanna be a bastard your entitled to send them a plastric peg

[landy]

like i said they should have read all the advert, its not like its in small writting

[AdamW]

Oh after reading it 10 times I understand......

Should of just ended auction......your legally allowed to keep the money

[munkaymad]

let me see the thread on ebay then we can make realistic decision lol

[Kelly]

Did you change the ad before their time of bidding. If not then I don't think you have a leg to stand on. You'll have to refund them

If you did then I'd say keep it and send them a peg hehe

[Dan]

You could send them the peg but I know I wouldnt feel right doing that.

[jeeves_101]

yeah, legally they can't complain as the auction says they are bidding on a plastic peg, and there contract of winning means they know that, so technically you can keep the money and send a peg and they cant do squawt.

[Wayne]

i send them the peg and keep the money.

[John]

Can legaly send them the peg i take it ebay wouoldnt let you end listing as had less than 12 hours left.

[munkaymad]

you changed it on the 3rd they bidded on the 5th Send the PEG they cant complain

[Saxo-Will]

maybe they wanted the plastic peg? never thought of that did ya!

[DarylVTR]

haha you have said the winner recieves a plastic peg so i guess you could send it but im sure they will be rather pissed off lol

[xsmile_be_happyx]

its their own fault for not reading the listing properly, i think you should send them the peg :)

Looks obvious enough. Keep the money and send them the peg, gets my vote.

[Hanuman]

people really are fkn stupid on ebay you see people bidding on scamms all the time,

i would charge them for making bids,

i sold a t shirt clearly wrote on it rrp 16.99 sold for 25+ p n p nice one!

you see an advert then states this is INFORMATION ONLY not the product what do people do,,, bid bid bid swear dow god they are stupid

[smiith]

send em a peg. you changed it before they bid, they cant do fuck all, send em a email sayin "what colour peg would you like?"

[Viper]

either send them a peg, keep all the money. or i suppose you could refund half of it if you would feel too guilty keeping it all... but still send a peg

[VTR_Nick]

send em a peg. you changed it before they bid, they cant do fuck all, send em a email sayin "what colour peg would you like?"

repped for that lol

[steviet]

send em a peg. you changed it before they bid, they cant do fuck all, send em a email sayin "what colour peg would you like?"

lol mate.

[matthewslee]

just tell them that the item has been sold before the end and that you had adjusted the listing

[ShaneVtr]

i remember someone sold an "xbox box" for some stupid amount... id refund them and say something sarcastic

[vtrlogan]

its prob some one's kid on there dads ebay acount thinking its a bargin :P

[Mystic]

Maybe they just want a peg? They might have broken one of theirs & its hell to find a single peg in a shop!

If you send emn pegs they will give ya neg feedback. Maybe send them a peg each and if they moan or neg rep you then thats that, but if they are nice polite people & send your peg back to you you can refund em :P

Just send me back my money you wankers!

Ohhh tut tut he gets a beige used peg!

[Ste]

What can they do.....

Fuck all, like all those dicks that bought pictures of the Xbox 360....

Send them a peg via recorded delivery and job done. If they complain ask them if they are blind and tell them to enjoy the peg.

[saxowebby]

sent them the peg, they reply tell em to read the auction properly

1000th post woohoo

[kenny]

send the peg, you know it makes sense

[vipergfx]

i cant understand why you just didnt end the auction? or edit the auction page ...

... but it does state that it is a peg, and was said before the bidding, so send them the peg but expect neg feedback :S

[Barry123]

technically within your rights, but morally wrong and you'll get aids as punishment from god.

just send them the money back, nothing lost really.

[Jaytee]

send the peg i would Im a cold hearted bastard though so il allow my advice to be taken with a pinch of salt.

[Clouds_mate]

Just send them the money back, you wouldnt like it if you had bought it.

You should of really closed to auction when its not actually for sale anymore.

[Graham]

you cant send the peg that'd be the so knobish... imagine if you'd been tricked like that

[Nick_T]

dont send them a peg mate,
just asking for trouble really isn't it
email them and explain to them, they will probably want their money refunded

[Scattle]

Agree with nick^^ tbh.

[Clouds_mate]

I agree. If someone sent me a peg for £35 i would hunt them down seriously.

Although your new address might not be added to Ebay yet tho?

[Nick_T]

yeah i would be livid if i recieved a £35 peg. i got loads of them at home lol

[stiffler69]

Yeah the info was added later you changed the ad, they could of read the add when it was first posted added it to watch item and just bidded on auto pilot as they would of thought the item was still availible.

You should of ended it really
