I'm selling a g-unit jacket on e-bay and someone just sent a message asking for him to collect and give me £20 , what should i do , would'nt be fair to end the aution would it ?

thanks in advance

I often get e-mails like this, and normally reply with a polite e-mail saying that they will have to bid on the auction. I think it is very cheeky for people to do this, and don't think it is fair on genuine people who are bidding. Also if you take it off you do not have the back up of e-bay if it becomes a private sale.

:wacko: i told him it has to run so he e-mailed back saying will you give me a price any price

[Tinkabell]

I'd send him another e-mail and say to bid the price he would like to pay and wait for the auction to end. It he does it again just ignore the e-mail. Unfortuantely, there are some very strange people on e-bay.

mmm this is latest he just sent he has now sent 5

is there any chance that i could meet you somewere in preston and collect it then and i will still pay you the postage costs

[Yorkiegirl]

ignore it
you could be reported to ebay... could be v unpleasant. I had this when I was selling DH's car. I just ignored them in the end and the car went for double what they had offered me!

i just sent a message back saying its running till end bid on it if you want it

[Tinkabell]

Sounds like a weirdo, if he carries on sending e-mails report him to e-bay.

thanks girls
