Care to share the muppets eBay username [via PM if nessecary] so I can add him to my blocked buyer list ? http://cgi1.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... blocklogin

eBay has always had its fair share of idiots but its gotten considerably worse this past 24 months, I've had many problem buyers and recently a couple of problem sellers. Fingers crossed that they remove the negative from your feedback but not the end of the world if not, you can reply to it as stated by someone else... A little context can make them look rather foolish although difficult in less than 80 characters ! Also, negatives only count towards your overall % for 12 months, after which it will return to 100% IME.

The reply option seems to have been removed from feedback in the latest mods.

Don't fret. You've got a few positves coming to keep the universe in balance

For a few years, I built up a clock collection. Nothing fancy, just mid 20th century striking and chiming clocks nobody wants now I've had some sent to me with a thin film of bubble wrap in a thin cardboard box and absolutely fine on arrival, yet other, really well packed examples have arrived with smashed glass fronts. One very telling example was a Garrard triple-chime clock I wanted repairing. These had a lovely tone rather richer than the sometimes strident 'Smiths/Enfield' types and instead of a pendulum, they used a home-made balance escapement, so they 'tick' quietly, rather like a watch. This thing was beautifully restored (Garrard springs are strong and these clocks will power their way through thick and thin, going so reliably for decades that the pivots dry out and the holes wear, needing re-bushing), packed up in plenty of layers of bubble-wrap and double boxed to boot, with another layer of padding between the boxes and STILL came back with a broken glass! Fortunately, different sizes of curved glass is available, bevelled edges or not and the bezel was easily fixed, but still...

The BMU is heavy and I have the cardboard box of the loan one to show how these boxes can be thrown around with no regard for the contents. In fact, the Doc and I were surprised the loan one hadn't been broken or at least the transformer dislodged, but fortunately, apart from some scuffs on one of the shiny 13A socket trims, it's fine and works great, quietening down after a few minutes use.

I was also going to ask that so I could add the dickhead to my blocked list too!

I can't believe what he wrote on your feedback, what an asshole. There are far too many dishonest people out there and I got a story for you all.

I hope this makes sense.

I am a motorcyclist and was looking for a helmet camera on Gumtree. I found the one I wanted and messaged the guy with an offer (£250). He rang me later that night and said he will have a think, and hour later he rang me again and said he was happy to proceed and the he would post it aswell. He text me his paypal email and everything was OK, I proceed with the payment and everything was great, he messaged to to say he got the money and said he will send it the next day.

Two days later, I was messaging him to see if he sent it and got no reply, tried to ring him but still nothing.

Five days later, I opened a dispute on paypal and put a note on there saying I want my money back for the Gopro camera and he replied he sold a quadbike not a camera.

At that moment I knew I had been scammed, some random guy put a fake advert for the camera with a fake number on Gumtree. When I paid him I wasn't paying him I was paying someone else for a quadbike, so the camera guy went and picked up the quadbike I paid for, I lost £250 and someone else lost a quadbike, The camera guy has just gained a free quadbike.

I went to the police and paypal did give me my money back but it shows you can't trust anyone.

Hi Doc

Kind of like feeling a bit guilty here Doc in buying the rebuilt one at a reduced price, feel like I have added to your woes.
Will buy some more TIS interconnects as way of compensation, so impressed with the digital one I bought earlier.
