I have my X8 for sale in the section on this forum and also on eBay with a "Buy it Now" option. I woke up this morning to find that somebody had used the Buy it Now and purchased it, therefore wiping all the bids and finishing the auction. On viewing the feedback for the buyer alarm bells began to ring and it became apparent that he has a reputation of being a serial bidder or buyer and then reneging on the deal before leaving negative feedback with derogatory comments. I contacted him and was met with threats of violence and insults far above and beyond anything I've ever experienced. I have now relisted the X8 and removed the Buy it Now option. Please be aware that this unwholesome character is presently targeting the motorcycles and scooters section of eBay so if you have anything on the take steps to block mikeking9672012 take time to read his feedback it's amazing how he is still allowed to trade.

Have you reported him to e-bay??

Me and the other half dozen pissed off sellers but they appear to be doing nothing about it.

Thats terrible, I often buy off ebay, feedback can be say 97%, when you read the feedback reviews, you read some really bad trading, so why do ebay give them such a high rating??? Because these rogues,villans,nutcases are paying ebay fees, so they get away with it, we pay our hard earned money and get pissed about. Makes me mad, I always check out a sellers reviews as well as just feedback score.
Unfortunately when selling like yourself, you are open to time wasting abuse . Hope you find a genuine buyer.

When I sell a vehicle on eBay I always use the classified option. At £14.99 to list and no other fees. If someone is interested then they email me.

hi steven, so basically you dont have listing fees or final value fees its just the £14.99 classified which works out a lot cheaper when you selling a high price item .... is this correct as a better option by far and cheaper as you are still open to offers

Thanks for the heads up. I've now added mikeking9672012 to my blocked buyer list.
