Another fine example of the users on Ebay..

Sorry I don't normally run to the Internetz! to post something so silly but I just had to this time, read on...

So I listed a Laptop on the bay last Sunday, for what I believe to be a reasonable price.

I bought it brand new for £850 in December, but now need some money back towards a new car. I listed it at £600 so obviously a loss to me, but sometimes you have to do these things.

Anyway, the one thing that really annoys me is when you are trying to sell something and some pratt comes along with no intention of buying your item. Instead they go out there way to laugh, mock or complain about your listing. If I saw a bad listing I wouldn't message the seller to complain about it.

So here it goes, another wonderful Ebay member contacted me about my listing. I have censored many of the words for obvious reasons, and I have covered their name - it is ordered from oldest message to most recent:

*** please do not post images that have partially blanked out swearing in them. The rules are no different to if you'd posted the words partially starred out ***

Good job for the members market at Overclockers

Why didn't you just ignore the mail, you just got Troll'd I'd say...

I get people wanting to buy say an i7 920 with 12Gb of RAM + 500Gb hdd, case and psu with Win 7 and license for 100 quid on best offer, my mind boggles.

I wouldn't have bothered, you've not done yourself any favours by posting your replies lol

LeJosh · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:16

Edit - Your response was more aggresive than his actually. lol

BRADDERS64 · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:18

I would have personally ignored it and just carried on with life, i know the guy was being a t*** but i don't think you should have messaged him back with abuse.

Sin_Chase · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:19

Why even reply.

At least if you wanted to you should have done it in an intelligent way.

Kenai · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:20

Well what I see here are two 'special' people having a 'special' discussion with each other.

So... erm... yeah. Yeah.

Jono8 · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:21

lol,kids.

Robbo · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:24

You shouldn't have responded, and certainly not in the way that you did. Obnoxious in the extreme.

If anything, you seem worse than him.

toon_mad · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:25

I only replied because I am forever getting these people messaging me, this time I bit back though.

"andy" · 3 Mar 2012 at 20:25

should have told him you had seen the error of your ways and that he could have had it for 400

then you should have sent him a cheque for the refund attatched to a dog poo

I wouldn't call that biting back, I'd call that making yourself look a bit... well, special.
