E Bay Help

I bid on a tow bar and backed out when it went silly, but I've just recieved a message from a different seller if I'm interested in buying one to call them on their mobile. They have a good e bay record, should I respond??

You will lose the ebay protection facilities if it goes pear shaped.

In these cases I think if they were local and you could meet face-to-face to exchange cash for the item you're on pretty safe ground - especially if you can take a large friend with you.

Not sure yet Martin, I haven't made my mind up to respond. The person has a rating of 105 and reading the feedback seems to sell car stuff. I'm not sure what e bay protection is worth anyway?

He's probbaly protecting his "pocket" against ebay selling charges ...

I've had a deal go pear shapped where the ebay seller didn't send the goods after I paid up. Having proved to "ebay" that I had tried emailing / smoke signels etc etc, they stepped in refunded my payment ( less a small fee ) and binned the seller from the system.

Sort of worth using ebay to buy just for that warm feeling ...

Who is the seller? There's a guy that's sold 3 removeable tow bars in the last few weeks and therefore may have a source. His eBay id is something like dreamworks. Maybe he's looking at similar sales and contacting the unsuccessful bidders to save the eBay and Paypal fees?

I was recently bidding on a towbar on eBay. I didn't win but was contacted by the seller the next day offering me a buy it now price £10 below the sale price. I paid this as it was through ebay and was the max I was prepared to pay. Ebay ID was dreamworksplaster. Towbar arrived 2 days later.

I was also contacted by someone else who offered to sell me one off eBay; Emma (and then a number I think) but I declined this one... They contacted me by looking at my bids on the original towbar.

I paid £175 + £15 postage... Might be worth hanging on for a little while?
